Hi everyone I forgot to give the final update. I tried and tried to get in touch with the lab to send off this rooster's body unfortunately I never heard back from them and after a week we burned his body(which had been bagged in our refrigerator) in our purpose built rocket stove just in case...

https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/huge-black-scab-and-large-lump.1137554/ Here's another thread with a similar looking lesion. Also thank you for the hugs. Idr if I posted that they found out it's pneumonia that Grandpa has.

He seems to be in good spirits. He's still eating and drinking. He still talks to me. Idk if we should try opening the wing wound or not. It's all very very strange. Would you have any other questions or suggestions? It's odd to me that I've found two other threads with photos of three...

Above is another thread a find with seemingly similar lessons on the bird. Anyone have any ideas please?

Correction the third lesion is just where the left wing meets the body and extends forward from there maybe 1-2 inches with the scab and all the swelling.

Okay all update one our boy. Tonight was his third penicillin shot. He's doing well with that. However tonight on the back/left side of his neck we found yet another lesion spot infected area. Whatever you call it. This one I did not need to part has feathers to see and it's almost...

What gauge needle should we use for this? The same as shots?

Thank you yes I do love him. We love all our birds. Yes we have many but we love them all and do our best for them all. Our birds get care and feed and water before we do just like our dogs. I have checked all the way up the leg and found nothing but I will check again today since silkie...

The swelling was pretty much there when we did the first surgery in which we really cut. The first time around we just used tweezers to remove the scabs. No swelling at all in the other leg I can post pics today if anyone would like. I also don't think he's drinking more than normal maybe less...

He is still eating yes. He is also drinking more than I had at first thought, probably about normal drinking. Money is a problem for the vet and I don't honestly know if they'd even see him with the Marek's in the flock. We couldn't afford the vet until this weekend at the earliest and that's...

I understand chickens are very good at hiding pain and illness, we've experienced it before, but there was literally no swelling no bumble and no limp 9 days ago 8 days ago he began a mild limp but no swelling and no bumble 7 days ago there was a moderate swelling and slight-very small black...

In the beginning of this thread I stated that his foot has been wrapped and ointment applied. His bandage was off for a foot soak, photos and bandage change. He is still mobile and on many inches of fresh clean shavings, in a box in the house, which I turn and fluff several times a day to be...

I have read it in the past and had it bookmarked in my old phone but none of my bookmarks transferred of course. I'll give it another look and see what I think. I've spent the last four nights staying up as late as 4 am doing research to try and help him and I think I've looked into both...

Lymphoma like a cancerous tumor? Or tumors. I hadn't put much thought in that but I certainly hope not. He's only 14-16 months old after all.

It's just so baffling how quickly all of this has come on. Remember it's only been 7-8 days since he first limped but had no other symptoms. No swelling.

You're up late. :) Thanks for the hug and the support. Yes I feel so badly for him. I wish he didn't have the black silkie skin so we could see what count on better. He's such a dear sweet little boy. We did splint his leg tonight on the off chance it is broken.

Hi there thank you for the reply. Did you begin the tread from the beginning? We're very familiar and comfortable with the care of our birds and have some experience with bumble foot and other injuries. We also keep blu-kote on hand at all times. We do have syringes but haven't gotten...

Also I believe the darker color to his foot feathers is due to prid.

Warning some of these photos could be considered graphic. In the above photo you can see my sweet little roo. If you look at his right wing you can see the wound or whatever it is that's on his wing. You can see there's a feather sticking out of the middle of it. While I did trim...
