Hi all,
Im hoping someone can help, I have 4 Marranz chickens, 3 hens and a cock, 1 of the hens has developed a lump infront of her eye and her eyes are weeping, the lump feels hard and im not sure what it is, the hen is still happy and eating normally, they are about 4 months old, can someone shed some light on this for me please,
Many thanks
