Can anyone help me with identification of what this might be. I have been to the vet multiple times..bloods normal except elevated protein (he said maybe caused by inflammation). Have treated possible viral and bacterial infection with no result. Scrapings came back fine ..it isn't filled with...
What antibiotics would you think they would recommend? Honestly I have had no luck with vets and my chickens. They seem to just take a stab in the dark and charge you the earth

Hey Everyone!
