Breast blisters and cut up wing tips

[Eddie12109]

I am in Florida too.

I am doubting it is a feather follicle since I have not seen feathers growing from that area in either of my chickens. I don't have the slightest idea what else it could be though.

Thank you for the information, her crop seems to be digesting regularly now and her poops are back to normal, Dev has some mildly liquid ones but she is acting fine too. I am still giving Eddie baytril just in case.

it's a relief to hear that if it is mareks, the vet won't try to take extreme measures. I am very hopeful the vet will know about chickens but with all of Eddie's things, it may be hard for them.

Well a new Eddie mystery. She just developed this bump half way up her preen gland. My worst thought is cancer, hopefully not. If you look at the picture you can see the bump mildly on the right side. I can get more but it’s pretty hard too. Her preen gland is red most likely from me touching it. It was hard for me to get the liquid stuff from the preen gland, I squeezed it and only a small amount came out. @azygous i know you have experienced this

If you think there's any chance of infection, put some antibacterial ointment on it. Otherwise, avoid touching it as it's easily inflamed.

Any ideas on this poop? This is from Dev, and she had that poop two mornings ago and then this morning she had one similar.

 

[azygous]

Have you wormed her lately? If not, give her a round and see what that does.

 

[Eddie12109]

I wormed her back in early December. Should I ask the vet today if Eddie has worms? I’m just waiting for them to call us in.

 

[azygous]

If you can get a poop sample and have the vet run a fecal float, it would be nice to be able to rule worms out. If she hasn't got worms, she has something else.

 

[Eddie12109]

Well I only have Eddie here, Dev doesn’t have a vet appointment.

 

[azygous]

Have them test Eddie, then. When one chicken has worms, they likely all do.

That’s going to be hard to get her to poop. I will ask though
