Okay...he just called, said it is messy! So I will get some in case and hold off until tomorrow. She seems to be having a dust bath now, it[s covered in dry earth, can't see any more movement inside the wound so I guess that's good. I will look in our agricultural store again and see if they...

Thanks guys, I will see what I can do. Earlier I thought if I kept going, there would be no chicken left and it was hard to see what was Ok and what wasn't. I'm hoping that the purple spray (antibac?) might sort it out slightly, so I could look again in a few hours and get a better idea of...

Thankyou, I didn't know what to use really. I took off as much yukky flesh as I could, but I didn't dig too deeply as she was getting quite distressed...I don't have a hose, couldn't think what to use as I wasn't expecting the degree of damage iyswim. I've been watching her, she is not being...

Okey doke...job done, I think. I'm not going to post a photo - I didn't take any, holding her was hard enough for the poor old girl, I had to just get on with it. It was the most disgusting thing I have ever had to do. Basically, it was like a hollow lump - there was pus around it, the...

Thankyou. You are a very sweet bunch of people Mary (the chook) will be very grateful too, I'm sure. She's a Rhode by the way.

Crossed posts! Thankyou so much. I'll post some more before I try and add pics I hope she will be Ok. I will seek out my protective clothing and gloves. what on earth would I use to lance it, you may need to talk me through it!

Oh, Jeez I'm so not excited about that. Not at all. I wonder what the vet would charge to do it for me. Thankyou... (would anyone like some chickens? I don't know if I am up to this after all!)

I was about to take one, and our friends showed up, so it's too dark now - I will take one tomorrow and try to post it up here. Thankyou

Hello, I wonder if anyone can tell me what to do please. One of our girls (about 18 months old) has developed a large lump on her back. I didn't notice it till I saw her feathers wouldn't lay flat this evening, and caught her to have a look. It's huge - there seems to be a sort of scab-like...

Thankyou very much...I will call him in the morning, I called when I realised she wasn't well but his wife said give her some cod liver oil, and call again tomorrow...sorry, it is gone 10pm here in the UK. I didn't realise this was a US forum : ) I just wondered what could kill a chicken this...

Hi everyone, I wonder if you might be able to help. We got our girls about 5 weeks ago, they are coming up to 20 weeks and don't lay yet. We have four - a cuckoo maran, a copper black maran, a rhode and, well, we had a light sussex but we lost her tonight. I didn't notice anything wrong with...
