i don’t have pictures of the wounds right now but they’re swollen and have dried blood. one on each corner of her wings (two total) plus a few others. we put a smock thing on her with the intention of covering / protecting the wounds but it doesn’t really stay in place or cover the wounds well...

We have a frizzle who’s around 10 months old and she has a huge bald spot, her wings are made of pins not feathers, and she has wounds all over. no evidence of being picked at by others (we have cameras). what should we do to help her? 2 of our others have small bald spots so we’re thinking of...

we have cameras in the coop and we watch them outside sometimes and i just haven’t seen anyone peck at her

My 8 month old frizzle has a huge bald patch from her back to her tail. she also has a couple of smallish bleeding wounds. what should i do?

Hello all, as you may know from my other posts, Pebble has been sick for a long time (though still happy and active for a lot of the day, she’s also suffering a lot). Today we’re putting pebble down at the vet. This morning, something was wrong with our other chicken, olive. We took her to the...

prescription pain meds.

Hello everyone, I have one chicken that needs pain medication. I give it to her in a blueberry. Today, another chicken took the blueberry from her and ate the medication. I got another pill, another blueberry, but one chicken out of the run, gave the chicken who needs it her meds. The other...

Yeah, also I think the tumor weighs more than she does. She’s so heavy now.

She’s very heavy too. The tumor in her weighs a lot.

Pebble is having episodes with trouble breathing where she pants and gasps and sneezes. She has a large and heavy tumor inside. She’s heavy to lift because of it.

The vet recommended we have her euthanized. And when she’s having episodes of panting and gasping, I think it’s the right decision. But when she’s dust bathing happily, I reconsider…

Hi everyone, thanks for following my ports from the past week or so. Pebble is still enjoying snacking and dust bathing and cuddles from me but she’s panting so hard. I think it’s time to say goodbye to her. I hope I’m making the right choice. I love her so much. I’m not sure because she still...

The vet is who recommended it

TLDR:What side effects do pain meds have on chickens? I don’t want to cause more harm but I don’t want her to be in pain. Hi everyone, my 3 year old Plymouth blue rock has a mass or tumor in her lower belly and the vet says it’s probably getting close to time to put her down. She stopped laying...

Hi I’ve had chickens for a few years now, started with 4. One died at one year old due to sudden death syndrome. One died around 7 months ago due to being egg bound. Now, pebble, is sick. She hasn’t layed for around a year and the vet says she has some sort of mass or tumor and will likely need...
