liver tumor???

Blackhead in chickens is rare, so I seriously doubt that is the problem.

This morning the girls seem totally fine. The comb color changes I saw are not as apparent this morning. Everyone is laying and all are frisky and acting normal. Poops look normal as well. I did worm my flock in April. I'm wondering since I did lose the roo if I should prophylacticly worm them again? What do you think @KikisGirls @casportpony ?

Can you have their poop tested for worms?

I don't know of anyone around me that will do that for a backyard flock, but I will check around.

Call the nearest dog vet....say this:

Hi!
Can I bring in a dish of fresh collected chicken poop and have you test if for worms?

If you want...tell me your city and I'll call around for you.

You are so sweet! Thank you, but I will have time a bit later this afternoon to call around.
PS I just figured out what that ball thing was under my roos liver, it's the spleen! and it was a very sick looking spleen, so now I have some more info to try and figure out what made him so sick! Yay!
