    *GRAPHIC* Necropsy of 16wk old cockerel - Need help with interpereting photos

    I am not a vet, but due to the symptoms and the enlarged liver at 16 weeks, I would wonder if avian lymphoid leukosis might be the cause of death. Sorry for your loss. Here is some reading: https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/avian-leucosis/82389838...

    Ear mites? Vitamin deficiency? Dizzy/stumbling hen, abscess

    Good advice from Wyorp Rock to watch and see or to explore it for an ingrown feather.

    Ear/Sinus Infection?

    I would try to get all of the pus out tomorrow. You can apply a couple of drops of hydrogen peroxide into the ear canal. Then clean it out with QTips gently and apply some plain Neosporin triple antibiotic ointment daily.

    Impacted Crop turned Sour?

    You give the miconazole directly into the beak. Crops should only be massaged if they are firm. If they are squishy, massaging the crop can push liquid back up into the throat, causing choking. I would offer her a little bit of chicken feed mixed with a lot of water to eat after you check her...

    White liquid urates with green poo

    I would let her back with others to increase her appetite. The yellow urates can be a sign of liver problems or sometimes dehydration. That may be due to a reproductive disorder, and MG can sometimes be an issue with that. Offering the chicken feed made wet with water in a small bowl is a good...

    Bump behind eye?

    It could have pus inside. If you clean it with disinfectant and do lance it with a sterilized needle, just don’t get it into her eye. Have someone help you hold her wrapped into a towel if you decide to drain it.

    Will 1st-year layers resume laying soon after treatment?

    Yes, I haven’t heard that albendazole will affect feather growth. Aquasol is a new version of SafeGuard and does not treat all worms, only roundworms, with the dosage given in the water. But it doesn’t require an egg withdrawal time. Here is a good link for small amounts of albendazole, the...

    Rooster's foot is rooting!

    It is possible to cause circulatory problems with bandaging toes. Is the 4th picture of a toe that was not affected until now after bandaging? I would probably start soaking the feet in warm water with Betadine twice a day to help them to heal. What dosage did you use and how long with the sulfa...

    Impacted Crop turned Sour?

    Are you checking the crop first thing in the morning, when it should be empty? Impacted crop takes time to advance into sour crop. Is there a bad or sour odor from her beak? How long has her crop not been emptying normally? Does she have granite poultry grit available to help her gizzard work...

    Bump behind eye?

    It doesn’t look like fowl pox. That is a disease spread by mosquitoes in hot weather. It might be a peck wound or from scratching, but hard to know for sure. Does it feel hard or soft?

    Will 1st-year layers resume laying soon after treatment?

    Ivermectin is not approved for poultry, and has lost some of it’s effectiveness in treating worms. It requires an egg withdrawal time as well. If you want to worm your chickens in the future, I would use albendazole 0.5 ml orally once and again in 10 days. Or you can use fenbendazole 10% 0.22 ml...

    New here, in Orlando(Mareks)

    Welcome to BYC. Are you looking for medications that treat mycoplasma (MG?) Tylosin and Denagard/Tiagard are the most common antibiotics that treat MG. Jedds and Bird Pal Products sell Tylosin that is 99% pure. Amazon and Chewy sell Tiagard. Nothing cures Mareks disease. I’m sorry that you are...

    Eye color. Acting sick.

    Do they also get a balanced chicken feed either layer or flock raiser type feed? They need that as the main diet, and they can have small amounts of ground meat and egg to increase their protein during the molt. Is she eating and drinking? Is her crop emptying by morning?

    Penguin stance and swollen, hard abdomen

    That positioning could be that she is egg bound or she is suffering from salpingitis and may have large masses of egg material inside her abdomen. Has she laid any eggs recently? You could give her a human calcium citrate tablet with vitamin D 3 or Tums orally, to see if it helps her pass an egg...

    Soft to Hard Crop overnight

    Crops are normally full and firm at bedtime. But it should be mostly empty by morning. You can offer more coconut oil and let her drink water. Massage the firm material several times a day.

    Injured eye

    I would continue once a day to get it all out if possible. Do you have any Tylosin antibiotic? That can help if it was caused by a respiratory disease.

    Hen with Swollen Eye and Missing Feathers?

    I would only give the antibiotic to a hen who has symptoms like hers. I would close your flock to new birds, or to any going out of the flock (don’t sell or give away birds.) She can survive, and would have a better chance if you can get the pus out of her eye.

    Hen with Swollen Eye and Missing Feathers?

    If it is coryza, it is contagious, but the others by now are probably exposed. Have you added any new birds recently? You might try treating her with a sulfa antibiotic. Here is one that you can get...

    Hen with Swollen Eye and Missing Feathers?

    Can you try opening the eye to see if there is pus or white material inside? Does she smell bad? Has she any nasal drainage, sneeze, cough, or noisy breathing? She may have a respiratory infection or disease, such as MG or coryza. Has she been picked on a lot in the past by the others? I would...
