tumor

I just cannot believe this: Saturday evening I found my favorite Silkie, of course, sitting by the coop and there was a large amount of congealed blood on lower back and top of tale area. She did not appear in any pain. Brought her and washed her off and the bleeding seemed to stop. I...

(1.5 weeks ago) I found this "something" on my 2.5 year old chicken's tail next to the oil gland and at first thought it was a tick but it's under the skin and slightly exposed. It's very hard and you can tell it's larger under the skin (like a small iceberg). Any thoughts on what the heck it is...

Hey, I wanted to hop on here and see if anyone could help me figure out what is going on with my hen. She is maybe 2 years old short and stout. We recently built a new coop for our hens but they haven't been using it as they have gotten in the habit of sleeping outside. It's just gotten cold...

My new leghorn pullet just had something that looks like a freaking tumor appear on the side of her beak over (I think) the past couple of days. I've included a close up photo. Very worried. Does anybody have any experience with something like this?

**this is a coincidence by the way. My deathlayer appears to have wounds not tumors** Hi, I need an expert here. Is it common for birds to be getting tumors? I had a quail with a giant wing tumor two weeks ago, inside in one habitat. Now my Totleger (Deathlayer) is showing signs of head...

**UPDATE*** You all gave me a LOT to think about. I went out there and crouched and quietly observed my flock of 5. She did NOT go into the coop with the rest at dusk. She stayed in between my legs until the dominant left, then she pecked at food lightly. I think yall are right on two...

I have a 4 year old black Australorp hen with a tumor or a large bubble near her left eye. It started out small a few years ago, then grew and hasn't seemed to be a problem for her, but it is warm to the touch. I'm just wondering if it's something anyone else has encountered and what their...

Good morning chicken lovers! My baby blonde has a TUMOR! We thought it was an abscess but my friend that's a vet tech poked around and says it's not. Anyone have success removing said tumors? Have you used a vet for this or ???? I would spend $200 if it would save her. She is currently...

Our sweet Skippy has a slow growing bump near her beak. I hoped it was just abscessed. We lanced it, and only blood came out. No pus. This leads me to believe it's a tumor. How do I remove the Tumor? Do I just cut the whole thing off and put Neosporin on the open wound?

This is our sweet boy, Jack. Jack came to us with only 1 eye. Now, as you can see, his other eye is completely swollen. Jack eats, drinks, crows and knows his way around the coop. We have tried lancing the bump, but only blood came out. We have tried penicillin, and Tylan to no avail...

A sea gull showed up in Culver City, CA, three days ago with a large growth above its bill (in front of its right eye). It is near the bike path along La Ballona Creek (just west of Sepulveda Blvd and south of Lucerne Ave.). Does it need to be treated?

I am looking for someone who can help me identify what is going on with my roo, and what we can do to help him here at home. I have an Australorp/RIR roo that I hatched out last year, and he is now fully mature. We noticed a few days ago that he could not lift his head and I immediately brought...

Good Morning Everyone, This is my first post here, but I'm hoping that someone may be able to point me in the right direction or give me some insight... I have a Silkie bantam Rooster (the most cuddly, loving little guy) that is about 7 months old. In the last month, he's had a hard bony feeling...

So I am back again asking a question about my poor chookie, Squeak. Here's some back story on her recent health. About a month ago she had a stool sample that came back positive for coccidiosis. She was treated with coccivet. I've also been giving her oregano oil in water once daily as a natural...

Does anyone know what my chicken pooped out? She has been sick not eating, laying, tail down for about 5 days, off to her own corner. also had a small cyst above the eye for more than a year. Thinking she may have been impacted but not sure. Her belly was not really large. I cut it in half so...

Hello wonderful backyard chicken community. I've been lurking for a while now, but now that I have chicks I have all kinds of questions. Can you take a look at this and tell me what you think it is and what I should do? It is on a three week old gold laced wyandotte.

Hi there, I'm worried about my turkey hen who has been acting sickly for the past three days. She looks very miserable, with her tail drooping at all times and her back feathers ruffled. She has little to no appetite (managed to get three little pieces of bread in her yesterday) but is...

So, this is one of just three (out of 23) Silkie chicks to survive cross country shipping of eggs, a postal delay & humidity issues at lock down. NV is 9 1/2 weeks old now and has had this growth from day one...yet it seems to be getting bigger. It hasn't caused any problems that I'm aware...
