yariso Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hello, I posted yesterday because one of our chickens had stopped laying. Today we have noticed that she has a large lump on her neck, under the beak. She seems fairly subdued. What could this be? Should i take her to the vet? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Oh dear Has the lump just come up or is it that you have just noticed it? Do you think she has been stung by an insect? If its under the skin i would leave well alone but if it looks red or inflamed you could bathe it with warm water and a drop of tea tree oil as it acts as an antiseptic. If its no better on Monday a trip to the vet is probably needed. Keep us posted on how she is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yariso Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 It has just popped up. It is under the skin and is the size of an egg. It is not firm to the touch, but she is def not feeling good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Sounds as if she needs to see a vet, yariso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
