tumor

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...

Suddleny my chicken has pale waddles and comb and a bump on the side of his face he is all swollen. What could this be?

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...

This chick just hatched today and has a growth on its head. Any idea what this is? Will it probably not make it?

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...

On Sunday I noticed one of my barnyard mix hens feathers were hanging down her leg. She was eating and otherwise seemed fine. I couldn’t catch her and get a better look until yesterday. When I went to check on her I did notice that there was a huge lump/tumor hanging down. (From one side of her...

My one year old Tom has three large masses on his wing that seem to be growing in size. I have no idea what they are and there is no vet anywhere near me that sees poultry. I can tell he’s not feeling well he is lethargic but eating and drinking normally. I know there’s likely nothing I can do...

Help!! We adopted this lady about 3 months ago and from the start she didnt have any interest to roam in the garden like other ladies and she very didnt move around if its not necessary and looked a bit depressed. We noticed she didnt take care of her rear feathers and that they were poopy from...

Honestly I have absolutely no idea what this is. I’ve had chickens now almost 10 yrs and have never seen this before. It is a huge mushy lump above her vent, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches above. If she was egg bound it has definitely broken but she is acting absolutely fine. Eating her fill, drinking...

Hello! I'm suspecting that this is a cluster of ingrown feathers, but looking for some confirmation from the more veteran chicken owners. The chick is a Speckled Sussex that's ~20 days old. The lump is a little smaller than a dime and has a little give when pressure is applied but fairly solid...
