Sick Hen Huge Lump on Cheek

I didn't know that, I simply popped it with an 18 AWG needle and pushed out the liquid. I was afraid to make a big cut that wouldn't stop bleeding but maybe I need to try that next.

Thanks
 
Sad story over. I culled her

The lump was as big as ever and she was gasping to breath. Sucked.

Sorry to hear, JohnHenry. I had read your original post and just put it in the back of my mind to check back later and expected to read that it just just a cyst, healed up nicely, etc. My heart sank when I read that you had to cull her. Again, sorry to hear.

Thanks for all the help and concern. I still think about her and wonder what I could have done. My remaining four hens now seem to not want to free range as much. Chubby was the dominant hen.
