    Tumor or feather cyst on rooster’s back?

    My 1 yo rooster has been acting sick lately so I decided to pick him up and noticed a bump on his back close to the wing area. It’s a black bump and somehow has a feather or two growing on it? He sleeps on the roosts if that helps. I’m leaning towards it being a tumor because I’ve had some...

    EYE INFECTION.. PLEASE HELP!!!...

    Hello! My silkie rooster has an eye shut for a day now. He is healthy the other day and has no sign of any sickness. He grew up inside the house so he doesn't interact with other chickens.
