growth

This is our first time raising cornish cross. They are currently 8 weeks (today actually) and we have given a controlled amount of feed and pulled feed at night for their entire lives. They are absolutely at slaughter weight and a few are starting to have issues walking. I could not get into...

I noticed this morning that one of my 14 day old chicks has a bald spot to the left of it’s crop about the size of a dime. When I touch it the area that’s missing feathers is hard and I can feel the margins. Otherwise the chick is healthy and the other chick with it has no issues. Is this a growth?

This is on behalf of my sister. We are states away so I can't inspect on my own. She just noticed this. I'm not even sure WHAT it could be, it's under the turkey's chest. It seems to have randomly showed up within a couple of days because she hasn't noticed it before. She says it is "fused" to...

I've been raising roosters for two years now and these cocks just haven't stopped growin'! They've gotten to the point where they are larger than my youngest child Richard, and it's becoming almost distressing. They're just so big and I have no explanation for it, but I figured I would share...

My EE chick is about two and a half weeks old and is smaller then my one day old Ameracaunas and I wasn’t sure why this is? The chick is otherwise healthy it just hasn’t grown at the same rate as my other EE’s and I was wondering if there’s anything I can do?

Hi there, I was hoping someone could share their knowlage or opinions on my 3 & 1/2 week old (Australian) Aruacana. I am concerned because he has always held his wings low or relaxed instead of tight to his sides, and I noticed today that his a lot smaller then his siblings. It's almost like...

I just reintegrated a female quail into an existing covey that contained her old friends and new offspring. She is still being very standoffish and hides all the time. She used to have an injury on the top of her beak by the eyes but I thought that had healed. However, she still appears to have...

So this is crispy. I think crispy is about 4 years old (maybe more). Isobrown. Non-egg layer. Great personality. Really slow and lethargic, sometimes falls asleep during the day standing. But seems happy. Still eats, drinks and scratches. She has been like this for a many years, growth appeared...

Hello everyone, first post here. I've had chickens before but I'm new to chicks. I have 8 chicks (8 different breeds) purchased from Rural King on September 26- so they are at least 4+ weeks old. One of my chicks (thinking either a Barred rock or Dominique) is less half the size of the other...

I noticed this on my girl about a week and a half ago, and thought maybe she just got picked on by another chicken, it wasnt that big. I was away for a week so I went to go check her out and it got bigger. Can anyone tell me what this could be? I like to treat them myself if I can. Any thoughts...

I have a 1.5 year old RIR who a few days ago started acting strange, penguin walking. she had an enlarged belly, it felt hard, almost seemed like there could be two eggs in there. started searching online, her symptoms matched EYP or egg bound. did the bath with epsom salt + gave her calcium...

Two of my hens are having a little issue. One of them has not been walking for two days now, and one has been limping for around the same amount of time. I inspected them for injury and found these round black-brown balls that pulled out from between their toes (the one not walking only had...

Hi everyone. This is my rooster, Jerry. I got him from a farm after seeing how much trouble he was having when trying to walk. He had bumblefoot & leg mites when I first got him. I took care of that and although he still had a hard time walking, it was much easier for him. The swelling of his...

Noticed that there is a growth on one of my Silkie’s nose. I haven’t notice anything else from any of the flock. She seems fine. They do come out and free range for a couple hours a day. I put vetRX on it today 🤷🏼‍♀️ Anyone have a clue to what this could be?

Hello all! I have searched and searched and can’t seem to find anything on this. We have an adorable and sweet 4 month old Speckled Sussex and about a week ago we noticed this growth. At first I thought it was a giant tick! Then thought wart but now scared it might be a tumor of some kind...

First time posting and joining- I usually find answers here without the need to post- but I have found something weird I can’t find anything else like it! This came from one of my smaller Sultan hens. Came from inside the egg. To me it looks like an underdeveloped eggshell inside the other egg...

My dwarf silkie chickens have had some white leg growth for a while now. They're aren't noticing it themselves and it doesn't bother them but it worrys me that I have no clue what it actually is. I have searched the internet and now I'm asking here. What is it? Is it harmful? If so how do I...

Hi, one of my girls was feeling down yesterday, and after tlc she's perked back up. Just noticed this strange growth near wear her tail feathers come from... Please help with advice on what to do!

Hello, I need help identifying what I pulled out of my roosters face. I have a polish rooster who I noticed a week ago had a huge growth on his mouth. I don't know how long it had been there as he has a big old head of hair that hangs and covers most of his face. I separated him from the rest...
