Ear wax? Ear Pus? How to treat.

[dawg53]

Hi Ruth , I know this is a long ago post but if at all you can help me, I would greatly appreciate it?
I have looked everywhere online etc & you are the only one that has ever talked about how to remove a pus plug from a chickens swollen ear. My little bantam Cochin has a double ear infection & his worse side is 5 X worse than the above posted bird. It's so swollen I can not find his hole that goes inside his ear? I keep soaking the outside but can't figure out how to get inside his ear to put warm peroxide & water in so that it loosens up inside, but then again, how can I get ahold of that big plug if I don't see an opening?
Thank you, for any of your suggestions.

@LYNNS CHICKENS Please post a pic of your Bantam Cochin's ear. I believe you're dealing with something worse than an ear infection and I believe I know what it might be.

Ok, I will post a picture later today.
I am glad I asked you for advice, because I was going to try and take out his big mass out of his ear.
Thank you

@LYNNS CHICKENS This is what I suspect you might be dealing with. If it is, please read the whole article regarding the different types of infections and treatments.

I apologize for not getting a picture cause I don't think it's necessary because his ear looks identical to the other chickens ears that are pictured on here.
I don't believe it's canker because he doesn't have any infection in his mouth, asofagus, or sinuses. He now has a double infection, a small amount of swelling in his other ear.

Can you take him to a vet?

@dawg53 Gave you a LINK to good instructions about how to treat him, but seeking professional care is always best.
