Thanks so much for you input. Very helpful. She does everything normally (eating, drinking, socializing) and her personality is unchanged. Just when the cyst gets too big, she struggles to walk. I don’t want her to suffer! So best to put her down even though everything else about her seems okay...

Awhile back, you all helped me treat my cochin for this weird huge growth she had on her lower right side. None us knew what is was, but I took your advice and cleaned it out and cut away dead tissue. It helped. She could walk again. But it came back again. It weeps brown fluid and creates...

Sorry to ruin cottage cheese for you! 🤢

Warning - gross pictures ahead! Thank you everyone for your help and ideas! So that did not go nearly as bad as I thought it would. The mass softened up quickly once we had her soaking in the warm water for awhile. It broke apart easily and did smell BAD. There was no fluid, blood, or...

Thank you for your insight! I am squeamish, but raising chickens has taught me how to get over it :). So I would cut off the black part with a sharp knife or could I snip it off with sharp scissors? Should I expect her to bleed - it won't hurt her? I will get the vetericyn tomorrow and give...

She is two years old and she had all her basics vaccinations when I got her as a pullet. She has never had a single problem until now.

I don't think it smells bad. not that I noticed. The black part looked similar to what seemed to be stuck on her foot, so I thought maybe poo/mud might have gathered on it - not sure! Thank you - yes I hope someone can identify this!

Yes it is hollow. There is a crack in it and I can see inside. Very strange!

My partridge cochin has been keeping her distance from me for several days now, but still eating, drinking, and laying just fine. Today I noticed she was walking strangely, so I picked her up to examine her. She seemed to have some hardened poop on her foot, so I put her in a warm bath to soak...

@Wyorp Rock, I wanted to let you know that my girl made a full recovery! Thank you so much for your help. It was hard work nursing her back to health but all your suggestions were so helpful. She is back to being her fearless, voraciously hungry self. THANK YOU!

How is your Buff doing? We have a Buff Orpington that is going through the EXACT same thing and we don't know what to do! We gave the same treatment to our girl that you described in your post. The only difference is our girl stopped eating and drinking today. I hope your girl is better. Did...

Thank you so much for your suggestions. She is doing so much better. Her energy is back and she is eating and drinking again. She has stopped doing the death slump entirely (hallelujah!). But she is still pooping tiny little poops and hasn't laid an egg in a while now. Should I expect her to...

Thank you so much! I will try all of this!!

She could have when she escaped the other night, but her crop feels okay. I do notice her kinda “smacking her lips” a lot. But she isn’t drooling and there is no odor.

My 1 year old americana dropped her tail and started acting lethargic two days ago. She had ooze that resembled egg white dripping from her vent. I gave her two Epsom salt baths and have been regularly flushing out her vent with a baby aspirator. She has pooped some watery little poops that...

My parents have a young australorp who just started laying. She was wounded by another chicken (we guess) on her shoulder during the night about a week ago. My parents have been applying an antiseptic and no-peck purple stuff, and she seemed to be healing well. Today she opened the wound to...

I have five hens in my coop. My olive egger is pulling out my three cochin's throat feathers, but not touching my cuckoo maran. What's weird is my cochins are letting her do it - they don't run away - and what's weirder is that they seem to be seeking her out and putting their throats in her...
