I have been through a lot the past couple of days.... first we thought my old, *blind* chicken Hazel had Gapeworms (no red worms in her mouth), then we thought impacted crop(its not her crop, its directly under her beak.).... now we have come to the conclusion it is a tumor. Hazel has a large lump right under her beak, where her waddle is. When I thought it was a impacted crop, i massaged it and gave her olive oil and I didn't allow her to have solid food. Now that I know what it is... i feel sorry i was starving her from her pellets! I have been feeding her lots of stuff thats good for her like a kale and swish chard smoothies with chicken pellets crushed in it. Vegtable broth too. Tomorrow I will give her scrambled eggs now that I know she can have solid food.
Anywho... I was wondering if anybody on here had any experience with tumors on chickens and what they did to help it. She is still having a breathing problem though.... wheezing sounds. Any home remedies? And is she in much pain?
PS: These are rescue hens, we cannot afford to go to a vet.
