This is a good reference article that discusses what canker is, how it affects the chicken, and how to treat it, without containing so much information that it becomes difficult to follow.

This is a comprehensive and easy to understand article about raccoons and how to keep them away from chickens.

I appreciate the mention of them being active in daylight, as I've dealt with a raccoon visit in the middle of the day. It didn't attack any of my birds, thankfully, as I had them closed up in their run. It is definitely a good thing to be aware that their behavior may not always follow the typical pattern.

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your experience! I have never heard of any other method for treating water belly, aside from draining the fluid. This article helps me feel much more confident about potential treatment if I ever come across this issue. The treatment method was clear and easy to understand.

I'm glad your chicken is improving now! I would definitely be interested to see updates on her progress in the future. Thank you again for sharing!
