    Feather cyst or something else?

    Hi, I have a 3 week old black australorp who seems to have a bump above her tail feathers. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this who can offer some insight or advice.

  2. What are these warts?

    Today I noticed these warts on my chicken, she has one on her beak and one on her right or left ear. I did a quick google search and it says it might be fowl pox. I think there are no treatments for fowl pox but vaccines. How can I treat these warts and what even is it? Thanks

    Chick Threw Up Clear Liquid

    Approximately 3 week old chick was drinking a fair bit of water when I went to pick her up and she vomited clear, warm liquid on my arm. Is this just because she was drinking a lot of water and I picked her up, or should I be worried?? Thanks in advance!
