    Mycoplasma?

    So a while back I noticed one of my chickens' eye was white, but I never got a good look at it, because it is super skiddish. But recently I picked it up because it had escaped and I noticed that puss was oozing from its eye and there was bubbles, I isolated it so it didn't spread and then tried...

She started limping and we initially thought she had sprained or broken a bone. Yet the next day she developed blisters around her toes. They were filled with...

The articles seem to skip over what happens to birds that are already/currently infected. Wet pox...

    One of my barred rocks has black and white spots on her comb. The other one doesn’t. They showed up a few weeks ago and I don’t know what they are. Should I be concerned? Should I separate her from my other hens? I live in Phoenix, and when I first noticed them, the average temp was in the...
