    Open Abscess?

    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...

    Massive Tumor.. what was it? (Graphic)

    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...

    Tumors on turkey. What can I do?

    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...

    Does my chicken has cancer? Cyst? Abcess? Doesn’t move

    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...

    Cyst??

    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...

    Lump on back of chicks neck/head

    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...

    Very weird thing my chicken laid (?)

    I have a Novagen hen around 4 years old who yesterday was looking a bit droopy and lagging behind the flock. I brought her in, gave her calcium and water with electrolytes and left her in the "sick chick" crate indoors overnight. This morning, THIS thing was in the crate. What the heck is it...

    Strange lumps on Silkie

    I keep finding strange lumps on my Silkie hen. See attached photo. I have found four so far, one on her lower breast, and three on her neck. I find them when they start seeping blood. I have been putting Blu-Kote on them to stop the bleeding, but now I am wondering…Could these be ticks? Please help!

    Tumor in chicken?

    Hello BYC! My SLW has a swollen abdomen, a poor appetite and is thin, and has impacted crop. She has no outward appearances of a sick chicken other than slowness. I though she may have a tumor, and I’m treating her crop now- suggestions for what this is and how to treat? 🙁

    Unknown growth on the inside of chicken leg

    My favorite, sweetest 2-year-old Barred Plymouth Rock lady has a growth on her inner right thigh. If anyone has any ideas, I’d love to hear them. If it’s benign and there’s something I can do to help heal, or if it’s lethal and I need to do the most humane thing… The lump was first noticed...

    Tumor or egg bound

    One of our silkies has had a hard lump in her abdomen since last night. We figured it was egg bound so we tried the suggested treatment to free her of it, but got nothing. We tried sticking a q-tip with natural lubricant, olive oil and still nothing. So my mom carefully stuck her finger in with...

    If its not Mareks, what could it be?

    After my first 2 deaths this spring, I've had necropsy's done. Each came back with tumor growths and 'most possibly Mareks'. I had PCR tests done for Mareks & ALV. Both came back negative. I know I've had coccidiosis several times this year, I can't seem to shake it. But I've lost as many young...

    Bone spur on wing? Can't find any info on what this is

    Hi there, One of my chickens has a weird growth on her wing. She's had it for about a year now and it keeps getting bigger. At first it just looked like a fat lump covered in skin under the feathers, but now it has like bone growing out of it. She doesn't seem at all bothered by it, she was...

    Fowl Pox? Tumor? Growth appearing on side of head/beak

    We have been out of town on vacation since 7/9/21 (today is the 18th) - that morning I did my final checks of the chicken coops (two coops - one holding 7 hens, the one in question lives here, who are about 1 year and 5 months old. The other coop has 5 hens who were born in March) and everything...

    Chick has bald hard spot to the left of crop

    I noticed this morning that one of my 14 day old chicks has a bald spot to the left of it’s crop about the size of a dime. When I touch it the area that’s missing feathers is hard and I can feel the margins. Otherwise the chick is healthy and the other chick with it has no issues. Is this a growth?

    Help! Chicken oil/preen gland issue

    Why does my chicken’s preen gland look like this?! I’m worried. I’ve tried hot compresses and massage and it isn’t changing. It seems to cause her pain because she does not want me to touch it.

    Tumour identification and treatment?

    DISCLAIMER: Alright so I know that tumours are pretty much incurable. Probably, the most humane thing for me to do is put my hen down, but I’m finding that very difficult when she’s still so lively, so I want to explore every one of my options to make her last days as comfortable as possible. I...

    What is this growth on my chickens beak

    Hello all! I have searched and searched and can’t seem to find anything on this. We have an adorable and sweet 4 month old Speckled Sussex and about a week ago we noticed this growth. At first I thought it was a giant tick! Then thought wart but now scared it might be a tumor of some kind...

    Rescued Hen with Bumblefoot... and Gout? Tumor?

    A couple weeks ago we adopted three hens from a rescue group. They were rescued from a retiring farmer who was keeping several thousand hens in poor conditions, including insufficient food and water. About a week after adopting them, one of them started hiding, was lethargic, and had reduced...

    Sex link lump (non emergency)

    I will preface this by saying- there are no avian vets available in our area. My sex link Pullet (13ish weeks) has some sort of lump forming on her upper right breast. The lump is soft, squishy, and the size of a very small cherry tomato. She’s eating, roaming, growing, and overall healthy. It...
