    Ear infections?

    Hi friends, I have at least 3 hens with ears that look like this (see photos). At least one is warm to the touch. There’s no puss (yet) but there is slight swelling I think with my EE here. I do not have a vet for chickens. Not sure what I’m dealing with and what to do. Can anyone help? Thanks!

    Flock wide infectious ear infections?

    Ok so I volunteer on a farm animal rescue with 700+ animals (300-400 being birds) and yesterday we discovered a hen with NASTY pus filled ear infections; we removed the pus the best we could without hurting her and gave her oral antibiotics but after inspecting her flock mates both of them also...

    This is one of our leghorns. See attached photo. I was told this could be an ear infection? How do I help our hen? She is acting normal and unbothered. We want to address this before it gets worse, and to know how to prevent it in the future. If you’re familiar with this, any guidance would be...

    Scabbed wound?

    Not sure if this is an ear infection on my Easter Egger or a pecking wound. She’s typically the dominant hen and not too many mess with her. I picked the scab and no puss, just pale pink flesh crater (if that makes sense) * I wish I took pictures after I removed it 🤦🏼‍♀️ Any ideas? Treatment...

    Mystery Symptoms: Ear Infection or Gapeworm?

    When I was closing up the coop this evening, I noticed that one of my hens (a 13 month old ISA Brown) was repeatedly yawning, shaking her head, and itching her head--pretty dramatically. She kept at it for a while. I just went back out to see if it has subsided but she was still intermittently...
