I will continue treating it as a wound and monitoring the situation.
The thought of it being cancer had never crossed my mind. I have no experience with chicken cancer, could you direct me towards any resources for information?
She laid an egg today if that is important and i will be sure to...
My 5 year old barred rock has always limped but now she has some wounds on her legs. attached are pictures. she doesn’t seem to limp any more but they have been more prevalent and they were swollen a couple weeks ago. she lives in an appropriately sized coop with another barred rock and an isa...
Been a while for me too... I have 8 hens of various ages and breeds right now. 2 Barred rocks, 1 Isa Brown, 1 EE, 2 olive eggers, 1 RIR, and 1 French Maran. The RIR and EE are celebrating their 7th birthday next week!
this was found in the nesting box yesterday. It is yellow now due to sunlight. It was white with consistency of a large solid poop. Now hard with moisture inside. Found in coop with 2 barred rocks and 1 ISA brown. 2 barred rocks both laid normal eggs today. ISA brown is still molting but almost...
I don’t think she was ever able to clear her throat. I think dry drowning was probably her ultimate cause of death. She came out this morning and then started flipping around(like she was choking from something stuck in her throat). I picked her up and she stopped, and died a few moments later...
It’s for protecting the chickens back from a rooster most of the time. But it can also be used to just cover the chickens back if the back has scabs, cuts, or is just bald. In my case, my chicken got feather picked pretty badly and the saddle was covering the bald patch so the feathers could...
when I let my chickens out this morning one of my chickens(2 year old Isa brown) was choking on her saddle(she had a piece stuck in her beak). I safely removed it from her mouth but now she is sneezing and having trouble breathing. Please help. I removed her saddle immediately and the back of it...
My 2 year old ISA Brown was sitting in the box at 3:30 which is vey unusual. She had her eyes closed. So I picked her up and this liquid came out her butt! I can’t tell if it’s egg matter or poop. It’s clear but has white streaks. This morning a shellless egg was laid in her coop(but I think by...
I believe my hen is broody. She has been in a nesting box for the last few days. I have tried removing her but she just lays on the floor, she doesn’t scream or peck. She hasn’t laid in 4 days and she has been stealing and moving other chickens eggs(she’s also on good balls). There is no rooster...
Hi, sorry for not updating. Her condition has only gotten worse. She had trouble breathing today and has lost her sense of balance. We do believe that this is a problem with her heart or another organs. We are also aware that her days are unfortunately numbered.
