throat

Recently one my 5 week old ameraucanas has developed a lump in its throat, and seems to always have what looks like reguritated food in and around its mouth. It seems somewhat distressed and every vet by me is closed today for the holiday. If anyone knows what this could be and if theres a way I...

I swear it’s just one thing after another.. yesterday I was throwing grass into the run for the chickens and noticed one of my hens Mocha going to eat it but never actually picking it up and eating it. I checked her all over and see nothing wrong on the outside but noticed she smelled strongly...

Hello! I have a hen who has been dealing with a respiratory issue for the past month. I have been applying VetRX to her throat basically everyday. She seemed like she was getting better, but today she isn't looking too good. She was walking slower than usual, her comb was flopped over a little...

Please help me!! 2 yo hen, mixed breed. Notice this morning she sounded like she was chatting a lot. It was very low, typical happy chicken mumbling. Then I noticed it was steady, there were no breaks, and I realized it was the sound of her breathing. She appears to be eating fine, acting...

I have a duck who was sneezing and assumed it was a respiratory infection that seems to plague some of my ducks, particularly during spring which it is now where I live... normally the symptoms disappear after a few days on oxytetracycline antibiotic which my vet prescribes for me to use for...

We have a ten day old male chick with a lump on his throat. We thought it was his crop to start with, but now it is soft and squishy and kind of bothers him when you touch it. I've attached the best photo I could get. The skin over it has no feathers or fluff and is really thin, and I can see...

Photos included, kind of gross. You were warned. We have an ameraucana hen who is on the older side, though still laying. The issue first occurred while I was away at college. My mother noticed that the hen couldn't seem to close her beak anymore and had way appeared to be a growth on the side...

This early morning my chook was gasping and trying to get air. I’m thinking it is something in her throat rather than lungs. There is no excess mucus. She seemed a bit panicked, which could have made it worse. I syringed some vitamin berocca water into her as she looks a little dehydrated. She...

Yesterday morning I went out to let the ducks (4) and geese (2) out of the barn and found that something had gotten into the duck stall killing one of our female Indian runners and injuring our female khaki Campbell. It was about 2 degrees out so everybody was already cold when I let them out...

Hey everyone, been a while since I was here, but I need some help. My hen of about 5 years suddenly seems to want to sleep a lot and while she seems interested in food and water, doesn't want to eat/drink. Although her crop isn't entirely empty. She is a bit sluggish in getting around, but...

it appears to have something lodged in her throat but she is still eating and drinking fine. Any ideas?
