This is EXACTLY what it looks like. Thank you so much! I'll hopefully commence the metronidazole tomorrow morning (if I can buy some) and also put garlic in the flock's waterers ... is there any point in trying to remove the growths from her mouth?

What kind of climate do you live in?

Please help! I have a bantam Leghorn hen that seems to have some sort of obstruction in her mouth/throat. Consequently, her tongue has been dislodged from it's normal place and is now more to one side. I only just noticed this all today but she's been unwell for a couple of days now and she's...

Maybe the early stages of fowl pox?

Thanks so much everyone!!! Also, can males live with solely males / females live with solely females?? Or is that troublesome?

I've been looking into getting homing pigeons and I really need to know the basics of caring for them. I'm not unfamiliar with keeping birds because I've kept chickens for the past 6 years but what do pigeons need in terms of food, water, loft/aviary, medicine, etc.? Any other general...

This is my bantam white Leghorn ... Chickadee! Leghorns are the best.

Lavender Pekins, lavender Leghorns, lavender araucanas and lavender Australorps are quite nice

I don't know for sure but maybe research sour crop (blockage in the crop causing bulge in the chest) or respiratory diseases in chickens. Maybe even worms although that would usually cause abnormal faeces. See if you can find worms in their poo.

Thanks. I've experienced Marek's disease before but Rosa was vaccinated for it. She proabably has just sprained or broken the leg ... I made a splint for it this morning and it seems to be helping a little. No, none of the chickens are fighting and I don't have a rooster. It just seemed...

Hey, I'm in South-east QLD too ... I'm on the Sunshine Coast! I can't believe I just found a thread on Australia! What kinds of chickens do you have?

Hey guys, I have 2 bantam hens with leg/foot injuries and I started to notice both over the past few days. I don't know whether both injuries are related but I need help or advice please. Rosa has no visible wounds and is limping badly. Her leg seems almost dead. She is avoiding walking...

Please help me! I have a bantam Langshan hen with a closed eye (won't open at all), what appears to be red welts on her face and within the last hour she's started twisting and jerking her neck in a very extreme/uncomfortable way. She's had the closed eye for about a month now - its been...

If you buy chicks, the best idea would be to try and buy sexed chicks and maybe buy 3 or 4 because during the early stages of their life they can be very prone to sudden death and sickness so you might have to factor in one or two deaths. However, when I bought my first 6 chicks I had no...

Chickadee - this little Leghorn was just such a character that she needed a name like this. Nigella - she's a black Ancona so the same colour as nigella seeds (you know, the ones which go on Turkish bread). Freida - no reason. Goldie - she's a beautiful buff Pekin so she was obviously named...
