Hi, found my silkie hen stood outside in the rain when putting them to bed, her face is very swollen and has gunk in her eyes and nostrals, no signs of injury. I thought this may be a respiratory infection but she's not sneezing, gurgling or gasping for air. Haven't been able to cheak on them...
The hen in question is my five-year-old Cochin, Ellie. About 24 hours ago I noticed that the left side of her face was swollen, but her eye was still open. I saw NO nasal/eye discharge, and her breathing was completely normal. I just kept an eye on her, but didn't let myself worry. This morning...
Hello, this morning I found one of my Buff Orpington’s with one side of her face very swollen. She does not have any discharge, sneezing and she’s eating and moving around just fine.. any advice on how to move forward with something like this? Thank you!
Yesterday when I was working in the yard I noticed one of my bronze turkey hens face was swollen. About a month or two ago all my birds caught some respiratory infection which I treated with some amoxicillin I had on hand. After about 10 days on it and some tlc everyone was feeling and looking...
I don't know if this happened at night or while I just wasn't looking but one of my hens face is swollen on one side.
She as far as I am able to tell has eaten and drank normally I've still have to see her poops.
It does look like she is gasping but so are my other hens in this heat. She's...
Hoping someone can help me. My 7 1/2 year old buff Orpington is having difficulty eating and drinking, and the concern is becoming real. It started late April, following winter in Minnesota, I thought she had a dirty beak. Snow had just melted, everything kind of muddy. After several weeks it...
Hi, I have a rooster who I got from a friend last summer. I just noticed this today, but half of his face is swollen, the other half is completely fine. He’s the only chicken with swelling and I have no clue on what to do or how to help him.
The first photo is the non-swollen side and the...
So I was just given a pair of black Spanish cross turkeys. The male's face is quite swollen, which we knew about before we brought them home. We know the person who gave them to us and he said he thinks they got into a fight and the facial swelling was from that. I do not see any...
Hey y’all my buff orpington has a swollen face. It’s only on her right side though! She free ranges all day since she gets pecked on by the rest of the flock. Her back and wings are all picked on. Part of it is that we need more space in the coop and run and we are in the process of building two...
I have a hen who just hatched two chicks yesterday. She has hatched many chicks for me before and been one of the best mommas. But when I checked on them in the afternoon both chicks had head injuries like she had pecked them! They were in a brooder box inside, so no predators. Do you think the...
Good morning, all. I let everyone out of the coop this morning, and it seems like my buff brahma, Dolly, woke up like this. I'm desperately hoping it's something that will self-resolve, but I'm also looking for guidance in the event that it isn't. The last 2 months have been one after the other...
Is this something I should be treating a special way?? I have no idea what this is but it wasn’t there yesterday? It looks like she was jabbed in the face? Is that all it is? I know there was some serious fighting over the roost last night, could another beak do this? Thanks for your help!
Hey! :)
So as some of you may know my Welsh Harlequin duck, (who turned out to be a drake lol) Charlie, has a swollen face. This started when he was about two weeks old. He's probably around eight weeks now. Over time it got a lot better before flaring up again, and now both sides of his face...
One of my hens has some sort of slime or mucus like discharge in her mouth. She's also keeping her left eye closed, and it seems like her head, or the area around her eye, is a little swollen. I don't think she can open her left eye. I just noticed this tonight. What can I do?
Hi everyone,
My hen Ginny has had a swollen face on both sides for a few days, sometimes looking very pale. She's around 10 months old and we were assured she'd had all her vaccinations when we got her. She's had no change in diet since we got her. Recently the pen has been infested with red...
I have 4 Six month old royal palms. Two hens and two Toms. 3 of them have gotten sick. One has not (biggest Tom) the girls have had a very slight sneeze here and there and occasionally cough. The Tom does this a little too. They’ve been sick for about three weeks now. Started with the slight...
The first picture is from today and the second (outside) is from yesterday. I have her separated from the flock since yesterday, she's in the downstairs bathroom with towels on the floor, food and water. I have washed her face with soap and water and used anti-biotic ointment. She's still eating...
My chicken has an extremely swollen face and a bubbly eye, but only on one side of her face. She’s not sneezing, acting oddly, or breathing weirdly, but she is frequently shaking her head. Please help, I don’t know what I can do for her. I called my vet, but she has not gotten back to me yet...
Yesterday morning my rooster was perfectly fine, but sometime between then and this morning I believe he was bitten on the face by something and has had a fairly severe reaction. I dosed him with some Benadryl about 1/4 of a 25mg tablet at 11 am and redosed him again about 5 minutes ago when I...
I noticed my roosters face was swollen yesterday. It gets pale sometimes too. He eats and drinks just fine, but he is a little slower or tired more. Like he falls asleep standing up. He also sinks he’s neck into his chest. He’s not doing it as much as yesterday though. I should mention that he...
