    Cull? Found mass under roost bar this morning

    Warning, gross photo. Background: My big Marans was doing the crop dance back in June, so I treated her for impacted crop. It only went down so far and a mass wouldn’t go away. So then I started thinking maybe she has a tumor. After 2.5 or 3 weeks in a crate I put her back into the chicken...

    Buff Orpington with fluid mass

    Hello, one of my 2-year-old buff orpingtons has a large fluid-filled mass below her vent.

Last night I gave her an epsom salt bath and sprayed vetericin on it...

    Chicken waddling like a penguin, mass on abdomen

    Hello! I was putting my flock in their coop this evening, and noticed one of the chickens walking upright like a waddling penguin instead of the horizontal way chickens typically walk (see the dark orange/brown chicken on the right in the attached photo). She sort of scoots around. I read online...

    Large mass inside egg

    Hi! Found this very large solid mass inside egg next to the yolk. Having a difficult time finding out what it is online. It’s solid but bendable. Kind of like a big chunk of fat. Haven’t seen this in any of the other eggs.

    Tumour identification and treatment?

    DISCLAIMER: Alright so I know that tumours are pretty much incurable. Probably, the most humane thing for me to do is put my hen down, but I’m finding that very difficult when she’s still so lively, so I want to explore every one of my options to make her last days as comfortable as possible. I...

    Mass On Outer Right Leg

    I have a hen the just started to limping today and doesn't walk much. There's a lump about the diameter of a dime on her right leg. It feels pretty solid...a bit dense but not rock solid nor really soft i guess. No odor, no discharge, no broken skin and no brusing. Almost like a little balloon...

    Strange yellow mass below vent of Buff Orpington

    Hello. This morning my family found our 4-year-old (estimate) Buff Orpington had a huge yellow mass below her vent. She had tons of maggots feeding off of the wound, which is obviously infected. She surprisingly wasn't very affected by this mass. She is breathing heavily and is pretty tired...

    Is this normal??

    My 1st time having chickens...so I have no idea if this is normal. My meat bird has a pretty big swollen area underneath her vent/butt area. But she also seems very fat lol. (I say "she" because I'm not sure of the sex). I think she's about 4-6 weeks old. She eats a lot, but I thought meat birds...

    Mass of meat from the chicken

    has anyone here recorded the mass of a chicken pre-slaughter and then its mass after processing it(removing its guts and feathers etc). If anyone here has I would really like to know those records. I'm curious to see how much of the bird is actually the processed meat we get in the end.

    Chicken has a bulge - what is it?

    Hi all - first time posting. My mom's bantam barred rock has this strange bulge and we can't figure out what it is. We thought she was egg bound and did everything we could to get her to lay the egg. It's been about 10 days, she's still alive, looks a little sad/droopy, but she's still...
