fungus

One of my silkies, Cheetoh, who is a little over a year old, has whitish yellow crust on her face that has not gone away for a few weeks. It’s around her eyes, beak, and ears. I noticed one of the other chickens had a similar thing a couple weeks ago but hers it gone. Cheetoh is currently very...

I have an naked neck turken rooster. He is around 2 years old. The other day I was cleaning their coop and noticed that he had a large yellow crusty looking mass on his comb. Im not real sure when it first started forming because he has a somewhat large comb that flops over to one side and it...

Hello! Just started growing wheatgrass to feed our chickens and recently noticed there is white fuzz growing 🫤 is this safe to feed or should I toss it?

Our tom turkey has developed two problems at the same time. We don't know if they are related. His feces became quite green and runny. thinking it could be parasites or bacteria we isolated him in case it was serious then added garlic to his water and sprayed his throat with colloidal silver...

My roosters have black spots on their combs, and now they have some white. They’ve been vaccinated. Could it be from mites? Or fungus? Some of the black spots will scratch off, but the roo did not like me messing with them. Any suggestions on doctoring, care, and prevention? Thanks, friends!

Hey everyone!! I have two buff orps and three speckled sussex that are about 7 months old now all pullets. Temperatures around here have been getting as low as 29F at night. They sleep in a coop with the door shut, a little window screen to ventilate, and no heat source. We loaded the coop floor...

Our beloved 8-year old Buff Orpington, David Bowie, has a grey moldy-looking patch on her right cheek, just at the corner of her mouth. We just noticed it but it’s possible it’s been there for a bit. She’s also a bit thin but going through a “mini molt” so that could be a factor. Any suggestions...

Today I saw 2 kinds of mold in my chicken run. We have had weeks of high humidity & little rain. Yesterday it finally rained. Then this morning= mold. I would love ideas on how to properly treat these areas & neutralize the mold. At present I am using vinegar & let that sit for 1 hour...

I have a 10/11 month old silkie bantam rooster and noticed over the past week or two white chalky and flaky developing on his comb. In some areas there is little black specs but no raised lesions. He seems normal with the same amount of energy and the only thing wrong we noticed was this...

I am needing some advice. I keep my birds in larger aviaries on the ground. I just noticed today that in one pen I had birds (scaled quail) with swollen feet that looked like they had dry growths on them and a few of them with lesions by their eyes and on the bridge of their nose. I just looked...

Hello, I need help identifying what I pulled out of my roosters face. I have a polish rooster who I noticed a week ago had a huge growth on his mouth. I don't know how long it had been there as he has a big old head of hair that hangs and covers most of his face. I separated him from the rest...

Hi everybody. So I got 11 chicks through the mail and was keeping them in a box with hay. The hay didn't absorb the droppings very well (if that is important) and now they have a fungus-like stuff on their feet... Does anybody have any ideas what this is? Will it go away or do I need to treat...

Trying to identify if this is parasite related or fungus. These guys are all around 8months old. We've had some damp/wet weather over the last month or so. My polish? hybrid hen is starting to lose feathers on her crown, comb becoming exposed. It hasn't been a full crest from the get-go so...

Hello! I'm new to the forum and being a chicken mom, so my inexperience is causing me a lot of distress with my first two feathered children! I have two silver sebright sisters (about 1lb, 9 months old). I'm not even sure where to start with my problems... one bird, Beep, started limping a few...

Came back from a week vaca and discovered my Silkie roo (Moe) had not only developed some sort of fungus on his ear lobe, but also had his tail feathers plucked out and a somewhat scabbed over wound. I've given him a bath, Blue Koted the wound, and isolated him. This is my first time dealing...
