I'm sorry to hear about Dori

Sorry that you lost her. It was good that you got to see a vet and update this thread on what the problem actually was. Take care.

Hey everyone, thanks for all your help. I thought I'd update you on Dori. We managed to find an avairian vet and we took Dori to see her. Unfortunately, the lump was actually cancer and she had to be put down, at least she is no longer suffering.

Shalom 2 things if I may
1. Does your chickens waterers is exposed to wild birds especially Pigeons or doves?
2. It could be that the sike chicken infected the other flock members via waterrs, I think that a all flock treatment with acidified Copper sulfate is needed.

I had nearly the exact same thing happen with a horse last year around this time. Got a big knot on the side of his face, vet came out and said it was cancer in the bone and that the lump was actually BONE not soft tissue. It was between his jaws and on one side of his lower jaw. Was actually pushing his teeth out from the bottom... Not much you can do when that happens.
