    Tumor or abscess on beak/wattle?

    I’m so sorry for your loss.. how sad. Sounds like you did everything for her and kept her comfortable. I don’t suppose you did a necropsy or the vet had any more clear idea of what the problem was after the fact ? My vet prescribed more antibiotics but there’s no pus, it’s not red, it just...

    Reintroducing healing hen to flock

    Hello! I have an adult hen that is healing from a broken leg. This week it will be 1 month, the leg has been splinted and she goes back for an X-ray this week.
