Thanks I did PM him, just doubtful he will get the message so I was hoping someone knew him.You could try sending Brian a PM, but it looks like he has not been online since 2015. He could have changed his user name as well.

Another similar thread for you... I have looked and looked, and could not find pictures exactly like your poor chickens anywhere, but the pics on the linked thread are definitely the closest I have seen. Best of luck!https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/mycoplasma-synoviae-treatment.1082260/Thanks I did PM him, just doubtful he will get the message so I was hoping someone knew him.
Sorry I missed your post. She has been here since day 1 (literally). It's not been too cold yet and they are done with molt, but there could be other stresses.Where did the speckled sussex come from? Is it possible they could have picked up the infection from a previous home or breeder, and it is just now showing up? Most of mycoplasma infections (as well as other infectious diseases) come from a carrier bird, and the chicken can have the disease in a latent form. When stress occurs, say during a molt or cold winter weather, some may start showing symptoms.
Wow thank you so much for searching for me! Oddly everything I find that is similar is a Speckled Sussux (this is the 4th one I believe, with another in that thread making 5)Another similar thread for you...

@bayareachick was the op who posted that photo—sorry it took so long. Here is the thread, although they have been online since 2015:Can I ask where you got the photo of the chicken with MS or BS?
Thanks I got them from a hatchery, so I don't know if they're related- and got rid of the rooster that was supposed to be a hen-I'm not breeding at all. I don't want more roosters!Are the two chickens with the swelling feet problem related? If so, I was thinking the vet might be right in that it is some sort of cancer...... in which case I wouldn't advise to breed their lineage because of the possibility of it's offspring inheriting it.
