    Mass on head **updated pics**

    I am a newbie at chickens but I do know that tumors of any type usually have a huge blood supply and with that lump being so close to the skin by her eye that is so thin I think the fleas have found a 'blood feeding spot' I would treat her for fleas and ticks. She may need to see a vet to see if...

    My hen Beaker passed part of a broken egg and is sick...help

    I thought maybe she had gone broody when she did not come out of the nest box...but the egg yolk on her legs along with her posture and tail pumping along with her depressed attitude made me think broken egg or shell less egg. and the fact that 'stuff' is still coming out of her and making her a...

    thank you for responding Tenchicks. I am waiting for my husband to get home to help hold her while I check her vent. I wrapped her in a towel to clean her up when I first brought her in and it was a battle to clean her up the first time without hurting her. She is a tough girl and I am hoping...

    My hen Beaker passed part of a broken egg and is sick...help

    PLEASE READ even if you don't respond! I found a vet that treats chickens, she has egg yolk periodontitis and he says there is pretty much no hope. I am giving her electrolytes and will be adding some antibiotics. He says it just sometimes happens even if they are given the best care. He says he...
