    I noticed this swelling on one nostril once many months ago but it sort of solidified and didn't seem to bother him, so I left it alone. But now his other nostril is also swollen, but the tissue is soft. Does anyone know what this is? I know it has to be some infection, but what specifically...

    Please help! Why does my duck keep shaking her head with her mouth open?

    What the heck is this? Cancer?

    What is this? I just noticed it while I was topping off water and collecting eggs. This had to have happened fast. we did move some chickens around recently. The favored hens needed a break from breeding. Is this possibly from squabbles? Is it possibly cancer? I'm at a loss. I have never see...

    Bumblefoot Aftermath

    Hello again! So, I just thought I'd ask, to be proactive. Over the last year, I have been battling bumblefoot with my hens. I had to do many mini 'surgeries' to drain the bumblefoot, then I would use hen healer ointments/sprays and wrap their feet/foot. Around 4 months ago, two of my hens...

    Help for a very special baby 🐣

    Long story short; my daughter Kerin had a very special chicken named Gohan, who was literally a pet. Her “baby”. After Kerin passed away last year (she had heart, liver, and kidney failure, and she was only 19), Gohan was left in my care, along with Kerins other 20 or so chickens 🐓 and one...

    Large wound on hens neck***WARNING PHOTO***

    It’s going on 4 days now since 4 of my hens were attacked, 3 of which died. The one that survived has a large open wound on the back of her neck. I’m pretty sure I interrupted whatever animal it was that was attacking my hens because the bodies were still warm and one was still alive. I...
