I'd posted some months ago about my 6 y/o BO, who didn't start laying again with the others this Spring (they're all the same age). Well, since then, her lower abdomen started to become larger and firmer, with some give--but it seemed a bit troubling. Her comb and wattles didn't quite develop...
I have a cute little red small hen, not sure what type she is but does have some silkie in her. She is 1 year and weighs about 2 pounds. She was small when I got her and has remained small, up until about 2 weeks ago was giving me an egg a day.
She is all alone now. I didnt have the best of luck...
Tina is a columbian cross, I believe. She is 4.5 years old. She is and has been acting totally normal the whole time, eating/drinking/socializing/dust bathing/tail up/normal poop, etc. she may be a teeny bit poofy now and then, but it's also cold out and she seems inline with the other two...
Hi, I have a 3 week old black australorp who seems to have a bump above her tail feathers. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this who can offer some insight or advice.
This is our second flock raised from chicks and I've never had one have this issue. The only information I could...
I have 2 chicken chicks (silky and Naked neck) and one quail chick with tumors. Is this marek? They don’t have any neurologic symptoms. Eating and growing normally. Doesn’t seem to be painful. Clearly contagious bc 3 have it. Should I cull them?
My favorite hen has a very large tumor, confirmed by the vet. But there is nothing we can do but keep her comfortable - surgery is risky and looking around 6-8k, which I couldn't do.
Im wondering if anyone has tried any holistic remedies that worked to shrink the tumor?
The vet said it is likely...
hello!
My 9 month old bantam has been having problems with her crop and possibly other things. We got an xray yesterday and they saw nothing strange. Today, I went to another vet who actually showed us the xray. She said my hen has a mass in her reproductive organs, possibly a tumor or...
Today I had an ultrasound done on my hen and found out she has stomach cancer which they believe has spread from her reproductive system. Does anybody have any remedies or success on treating/curing this? I've read about success in humans from baking soda water, and some from fenbendazole, but...
Hello again everyone. This has been a rough week. Thank you for everyone’s advice about helping my sick chicken & questions on deworming my flock. This community has been a god send. As I was deworming everyone I discovered another one of my Polish chickens has a big golf ball-sized lump on the...
Hello all!
One of the reasons that i joined this forum was due to the vast information i've found available from people with tons of 1st hand knowledge and experience. Its a super great way to "share" that information gained thru many years of experience. Besides having Khaki ducks now for...
Hi there! We noticed that our beloved Ms. Beags had a weird growth protruding from her eye earlier today, but cannot for the life of us figure out what it is/what to do about it. She seems fine otherwise (no signs of resp illness, mites, etc.) though she has a substantial amount of plucked...
My poor hen started developing some patches on her comb about 8 weeks ago. It initially looked like fowlpox which I’ve had in my flock in the past, so I treated with iodine daily. Unfortunately the patches continued to grow and now look like tumors. They’re hard and not full of pus. I feel so...
Hello everyone, Big Fluff and I are in need of some assistance, she, my most favorite chicken, has a baseball sized growth under her vent (not on her breast/ belly)... it is red, with some gross looking scabs, feels warm to the touch, & has lost most of the feathers on it. It is a bit squishy...
I have a under year old lavender ameraucana rooster whom i soaked in Epsom salt bath today to get him cleaned up to assess his rear. I wasn't sure if it was vent gleet or what was happening but a couple weeks back I noticed the super dirty rear. At the time or noticing it, i currently had a hen...
Does anybody know what this is? I noticed one morning that my chicken was using her wing to move around. I picked her up and saw her leg was completely limp. She uses the joint to move around. I separated her and once I examined her I found this. They have been closed up in the coop for 2 days...
My most spunky chicken, a 5 year old, recently stopped perching, then had trouble walking and upon examining - I found a growth - for lack of a better word. It’s between her body and right leg. It’s hard to the touch and ranges from dark brown to yellow. She’s now on antibiotics, pain killers...
Hi. I'm new here, so if I did something wrong I apologize in advance.
We have a very old Australorp chicken, I believe its around 7-8 years old. Recently there has been a disturbing tumor growing on its face. The tumor is not soft and squishy but instead quite dense and hard to the touch (not...
One of my rhode island reds last week had crooked neck. I added selenium and vitamin E and after 2 days her neck was straightened out but she was limping. Then it got to the point where she wouldn't roost up with the others and would lay her egg by the coop door and not in their regular egg...
