    Chicken has soft swollen spot under beak

    :hugsI am very sorry you lost her. You can send her in to your state vet lab for a necropsy which can be helpful regarding your remaining flock and to get closure. Keep her refrigerated ( double plastic bag) but not frozen.

    Chicken has soft swollen spot under beak

    How is she doing today? Does she have a different smell from your other chickens, more like ammonia?

    Swollen dry face, weird looking eye, help! :(

    Let me start by saying that I am very sorry you have to deal with this situation. Where did you buy your birds? Did you purchase them from different sources? And did you quarantine prior to adding new ones to your flock? How many chickens do you have in total? You seem to have tried quite a...

    Bullying. Again. What am I doing wrong?

    You seem to have tried a lot already and despite having started allover with a new flock of birds the same or similar issues arise. I meant no offence, just tried to give you some ideas to provide entertainment for your birds that would encourage their natural behaviour like digging etc. to...

    Chicken has soft swollen spot under beak

    Does the swollen area feel soft or is it rather hard?

    Bullying. Again. What am I doing wrong?

    A good rooster would solve all these issues in no time. You could plant a berry bush in the chicken run, some sunflowers etc. which will keep them entertained. As it is in your picture your run looks rather sad to me. A little "mountain" of sand and/ or leaves will have them busy scratching for...

    Chicken has soft swollen spot under beak

    I can't seem to see her tongue in your picture...🤔 The ball like swelling underneath a chickens' wattles is often related to their tongue being swallowed or restricted by a thread or hair wrapped around it, which leaves them very uncomfortable and with difficulty to eat or drink properly...

    Chicken has soft swollen spot under beak

    Could it be an insect sting? In any case check the inside of her mouth for foreign objects or lesions/canker. Can you see her tongue, does it look normal? And welcome to the BYC community! :frow

    What rooster to get ?

    The males of both breeds will get much too big and heavy for most of your hens.

    What is wrong with my girl!?

    How old is she exactly? She does look dehydrated and anaemic, so here is what I would do: #1 Inspect her and the coop for poultry mites and treat accordingly in case you find them. #2 Treat her for coccidiosis, you can use Corid/Amprolium and if she is not better after the second day, switch...

    2-3 year old Novogen limping; no injury apparent, thoughts?

    Is it her left or the right side leg that is troubling her? There could be different causes and we only will be able to approach the matter by trying to eliminate the possibilities one by one. Novogens and layer hybrids get spent after their laying cycles as they will not be able to consume...

    Rooster drama and selection - what should I do?

    For behavioural testing it is better to only introduce one at the time for at least 2-3 weeks so he will be able to develop his true potential with the females and not be influenced by the other male's presence. And you can always purchase some hatching eggs of the desired breed and let your...

    2-3 year old Novogen limping; no injury apparent, thoughts?

    When did she last lay an egg and how did the shell look? Feel her lower abdomen below her vent and between her legs, is it swollen, hard or rather squishy like a water filled balloon? When did you last deworm?

    Rooster drama and selection - what should I do?

    I would just leave the shy one and wait how he develops with the others gone.

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Yes, it does feel like forever every time we wait for them to start! 😆

    Will her eggs get bigger?

    Compare the weight of your two girls and if you haven't done so recently, deworm thoroughly.
