    What is this black thing coming out of my pullet’s beak?

    Fowl Pox (dry) - pretty sure. I’m in Central TX & last fall I got 75 day old chicks during what seemed to be a never-ending hot & rainy season w/ loads of mosquitos. Many of my chicks developed the scabby sores just like the one on your hen’s beak. Affected were mostly the beaks but some on the...

    Fungal? Canker? What’s on her mouth??

    Oh & the beak infection did not smell terrible, it wasn’t lovely but definitely not as bad as, for example, the Infectious Coryza I scooped out of this little hens eye last fall; that was awful smelling!

    They definitely did a gram stain and this creature was not present thank goodness! He let me come back to see the slides w/ him;-)

    Fungal? Canker? What’s on her mouth??

    He did mention the possibility of protozoan infection but that was the extent of that. Would it have shown up in the cytology? He only mentioned seeing bacteria and white blood cells.

    Fungal? Canker? What’s on her mouth??

    So my friends, here is the report from our vet visit! We had a relatively peaceful transport. The vet scooped out the infected area in her mouth, did cytology looking for yeast or bacteria and found general bacteria! He said there was probably a small cut or injury that allowed the bacteria to...

    Fungal? Canker? What’s on her mouth??

    Thanks so much for the input. Crazy how many differential diagnoses there are in chicken problems! Would cancer slough off so easily w/ a q-tip? I haven’t tried Metronidazole yet bc was worried about making it worse if it’s fungal. I picked up a script of Nystatin but may wait to see what...

    Fungal? Canker? What’s on her mouth??

    I have considered our vet who is the only in town who sees birds but it is a good 30-40 minutes from our farm where my hens are but I haven’t wanted to freak her out by the trip & visit but may have to do so. I got a quote of $250 from vet which isn’t bad in my opinion for a beloved pet;-) that...

    Fungal? Canker? What’s on her mouth??

    Hi guys, This is 1 yr old Eyesie (she had an eye pecked out as a chick), she is my absolute favorite of 120 hens! She has had this inflammation on her mouth developing for about a month. I have tried vetrx, just finished 3 days of Copper Sulfate w/ ACV & probiotics. Previously tried nano silver...
