    I dug at this growth... what is this, what should I do?!

    (1.5 weeks ago) I found this "something" on my 2.5 year old chicken's tail next to the oil gland and at first thought it was a tick but it's under the skin and slightly exposed. It's very hard and you can tell it's larger under the skin (like a small iceberg). Any thoughts on what the heck it is...

    Chick Failing to Thrive Now Seems Frankly Ill - Hunched, Shivering, Thin, Miserable

    Hello! Our wonderful Cuckoo Marans hen raised two batches of chicks this year. The second batch hatched on Halloween. (Now 2 months old.) One of the babies has always seemed frail. At first it was just that she seemed always to be cold, hunched with her feathers poofed out. As time has...

    Bird tumors

    **this is a coincidence by the way. My deathlayer appears to have wounds not tumors** Hi, I need an expert here. Is it common for birds to be getting tumors? I had a quail with a giant wing tumor two weeks ago, inside in one habitat. Now my Totleger (Deathlayer) is showing signs of head...

    Quail with cancer help

    **UPDATE** I can barely even write this. This quail was a gorgeous, super sweet, beautiful bird. She was a consistent egg layer. She was so gentle. I read all of the comments and made the decision to let her go. I inspected the tumor extensively before making the decision. The tumor was...

    Necropsy - What is this?? (Graphic)

I’m unsure of her age as she was a rescue that looked very rough when we got her 6 months ago, but I had been told that she just started laying... Anyway, a little over a week ago when letting the chickens out of the coop in the...

    Butchered Chicken with Cancer?

    I recently butchered 8 of my retired layers. They all seemed to live pretty normal and healthy lives. One of them had a entire duodenal loop of bowel that was rock hard. It seemed some of the connective tissue around it had some bumps as well. I am worried she had developed duodenal cancer. I...

    My best friend just told me she has cancer...again.

    I met my best friend and fellow chicken lover just after she had finished chemotherapy for her breast cancer. She was 26 when diagnosed. Despite having a really bad reaction to the chemo (her husband literally had to carry her out to the car after each session, and then carry her into the...
