It looks like a growth of some kind or a cyst?
Has anyone dealt with this before? Is there anything I can do?
This is our white plymouth rock hen she is a little over 3 years old.
Yesterday and today she has been just standing around shaking her head.
Her comb is completely laying over on her head now.
This picture was a week ago so it doesn't show her now.
I thought mabey she's egg bound because I think that could be one of the signs?
So I soaked her in warm water and massaged her backside but nothing came out felt in a little ways and nothing.
She got up on her roost and so far all is well.
Does anyone have any ideas about why else her comb would be laying completely over on her head it's unusual for her?
I wormed with valbazen couple weeks back so it's not worms.
Any help would be appreciated!!!!
 
I have no idea but I would suggest feed her some electrolytes or tonic to give her a boost. It looks like a cyst, agreed. That lump must be very scratchy on her eye. Sorry, no help I know. But still, try and give her some vitamins to fight this herself. If you can't get her to a vet then just observe her. Thing is, the cyst in her eye is so close to her brain, it could make her fit or paralysed or something. Good luck. I'll try searching the net for you and if I find anything I'll post here.
