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
Hi poultry lovers,
It’s a long time since I’ve posted here, but I’m in desperate need of help and would really appreciate any thoughts or advice you can offer.
Almost 3 weeks ago I found one of our young female ducks (Daisy) with an oviduct prolapse. I took her straight to the avian vet that...

My hen got bumble foot a few days ago, I treated both feet, one of them is cured now, but the other one just got worse. I did everything I was told, remove the pus, salt bath, etc. That helped the other foot out, but one of the feet didn’t get better. Instead it got purple. Asked an old lady I...
Hello!
I have had chickens for about 5 years now and I recently added four new chickens to the flock and everything was going fine until about two weeks after we integrated them. We began noticing one of the new chickens was making an odd noise that we are assuming was a sneezing of some sort...
I have recently added a few hens to my flock that had white earlobes I didn't think much about it at first and then I started noticing more and more of their ear lobes turning white even my sapphire sky hen. I'm not sure if this is a coincidence and they may be just molting or does it look like...
Hi! First time posting on here. My 20 week Austrawhite was the first hen to exhibit symptoms. She had black spots on her, but I was able to get them off with Vaseline. A week later I noticed a chapped like substance & black dots on her comb. My husband seems to think the spots are dirt and the...
Hello,
Small flock keeper (15 hens) of 2 years in Northern CA.
we’re aware it could be something else that killed her, however, this morning we noticed a different hen has a gray milky eye. When we saw this, our first concern became Marek’s as it looks exactly like it. I attached a photo for...

I have 3YO Barred Rock Hen who is just plain not looking so hot. She is very dull looking compared to his sisters. Her comb and waddles are very pale (her comb is flopping over to side a bit too), she hardly moves. She walks very lamely, only a few feet or so, then just lies there, closing her...
My two month old broad breasted turkey has a big, what looks like a growth, on its breast. This is my first time growing turkeys so am I just freaking out over nothing? Simple Google search says it could just be a fatty deposit which is normal, or blisters. I'm just concerned because none of the...
I have an adult duck (3-4 years old) whose legs are trembling a bit when she walks. I just noticed yesterday and made a note to keep an eye on her, and realized today that I haven’t seen her sit or lie down since then. She’s either walking around or just stands still to rest. Otherwise she seems...
My family member bought like 10 chickens from some guy online. They were delivered to us and they were all low energy, pale a droopy combs. There are four left and this is the condition they’re in right now. The rest of them died. Is this an illness I can treat or did we get old dying hens?
The...
I've got this silkie chicken that I've had for almost 5 years now, I've recently noticed(while picking her up) that her face absolutely stinks, at first I thought that maybe she needed a bath, but the rest of her body smells fine, its just her head, as I said I've had her for almost five years...
Hi all! Wishing everyone and their feathery families peace to the mind. ♡
I have 2 muscovy females and one of them seems to have something wrong with her leg. They've both been broody and been in their nests all day for a couple weeks now. Lilith, the injured one, has some kind of scab or cut...
Hi all,
Our 3.5 year old laying hen was acting normally yesterday, but upon coming out of her coop this morning proceeded to drink water for about 10 minutes straight. She would not stop, even when we tried to lure her away with treats. We examined her and found some messy feathers around...
My two-year duck dixie has started moving very slowly and falls behind the rest of the crowd. even when I am chasing them back from the road all of them will run fast but not her. Please help!
My nephew has quail and he butchered one brought the carcass to mine and cooked it. Myself and my dog had some but he mentioned after eating the bird that the quail was potentially ill. I need to know what the illness was and will myself and most importantly, my dog be okay?
He says the bird...
My 2 year old hen Rita has been bloated for a few months now. I thought she had worms, so I added apple cider vinegar and garlic into their food. It kept getting worse. I left for a trip last week, and lest the flock to my dad’s care. I came back yesterday. When I let them out this morning, I...
About a week ago, my chicken suddenly stopped laying eggs. She was standing around, and then sat while puffed up. We gave her some calcium through her water and food. We assumed she was egg bound, so we gave her a warm bath, dried her off and then put her in a dark area. This was 2 days after we...
