    My hen' beak got chewed off and her face is SUPER swollen, how can I help with the inflammation?

    Hi everyone, I need help. So last night around 11, I heard my birds squawking so I went and turned on the outside light. Didn't see anything, I hoped the light would scare away anything that might have been there, and I went back to bed. So much for dogs, they didn't even lift their heads...

    Swollen Head Syndrome Information

    Today I had to euthanize my coturnix quail who was afflicted with this disease. She had it for several months, until it progressed to the point where she could no longer close her beak to eat or drink. I'm writing this to help others whose birds come down with this common but incurable disease...

    12 week old bantam head swollen eyes starting to puff

    Hello- Just yesterday I checked on my chickens and noticed my bantam chicken Alvin had a raised lump on left side of her head. I thought maybe the rooster stepped on her by accident as he is much bigger than her. Today the lump is still there and seems "puffyer" and her eyes seem puffy as well...
