RIR with sore/tumor on eye

[ColeSchmidt]

Alrighty so here is today's update...

The local FFA that we got the chickens from finally called back and said that they will have a "specialist" look at Bean to determine what it is, so we are planning on doing that... as soon as they call us back again. His eye changes every day and I have no idea what to think of it, so I am going to keep posting pictures here until I figure it out. Today the area is much more swollen, but the original scab/tumor seems to be slowly shrinking. It is obvious that Bean is irritated by his eye, but we haven't noticed anything indicating that he is in a lot of pain. The poor guy has never had a normal eye.What do you guys think? From what I can tell, I think it is fair to say it isn't cancer, but it has been changing every day so I have no idea :/.

Don't have any pictures of his eye today, but it is looking WAY better! The swelling is going down and it is drying up and shrinking pretty nicely. We are still waiting for FFA to respond to take a look at the situation. Unfortunately it appears that our other chick Brucie is developing the same thing, but is in the very early stages. We are going to get to the feed store tomorrow to get some antibiotics and hopefully that will help stunt it. Here is a picture of Brucie though!
Hard to see, but it is in the right corner of his eyelid.

Just wanted to update everyone. Bean's tumor-thing eventually fell off, and Bruce's is gone as well. Our local feed store got us an antibiotic and it cleared everything up within a week! I will try to get around to posting some pictures, but all is well and thank you everyone for your help!
