3 WEEK CHICK WITH TUMOR??! HELP!

[Wyorp Rock]

yes she scratches her neck alot and then makes the distress noise while shes doing it. One of her siblings pecks her eyelids and pulls at them but i push him away. i just put more triple antibiotics on her neck but is this blood in her poop or just coloring from something she ate? Does scratching her neck mean something?

Do you have any Corid on hand? I'd begin treating with that since it does look like there's blood or intestinal lining in the poop. It may not be that serious right now, but she's been going outside and getting more exposure to the environment in which she will eventually live.

She's probably itchy, I'm not sure what's causing such irritation to her neck. You don't see any lice or mites on her?

Liquid Corid dose is 2tsp or Powdered Corid Dose is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
Do not add any extra vitamins/electrolytes that contain B1(Thiamine) to food or water during the course of treatment.

today i left rex outside with his siblinds and when i came back he had multiple bald spots and obvious peck marks. i out triple antibiotic on the bites and on his neck in general, i've continued with his treatment and will keep updating. I believe that because i can tell something plucked the feathers off of his head, the same thing happened with his entire neck. i saw 2 of his siblings peck him for no reason, multiple times.

Chickens can be attracted to the bare skin, so they may pick at him until he feathers in.
You may need to have monitored visits only and deter the picking when you see it.

Okay, based on his baldness how long do you think it might take for him to feather in?

Hard to know when he will feather in, it will take some time.

The skin on rex's neck seems to be super dry and flaking off. i think thats why he is scratching his neck so much. Should i try to remove the dry dead skin or put some lotion like thing on it instead?

I think I'd put a little Vitamin E oil or A&D cream/ointment on the skin, see if that helps.

How's he doing, is he growing? Updated photos if you have them.

i think he is growing. he has a really mean sibling who keeps pecking him... i call his sibling "hot dog" cus when he bites rex i grab hot dog like a hot dog. Other then that hes doing good. Still giving him egg yolk, he really enjoys it. Hes been downing entire egg yolks, so i think hes getting bigger! I stopped putting antibiotics on his neck because i think it was drying his neck up. He scratched most the dead skin off and flakes that were barely hanging on i peeled off myself because other chickens kept pecking at the flakes. I havent been on here much because hes getting stronger and growing some more feathers on his body.. i even see little tiny feathers that might start coming out of his neck soon. Hes doing much better so i dont have much news, but tomorrow ill get photos of him. Hes very happy all the time and his forehead wrinkle isnt such a issue. Its odd, it only happens when hes not with me. He starts crying and his forehead wrinkle shows up! its like a mood ring LOL!
