Title: Ear Infection?
Post by: 3Bluebelles on November 13, 2009, 21:07

One of our chickens seems to have a possible ear infection. Her right ear is white inside. It doesn't seem to be a discharge, and looks quite dry, but I haven't had chance to pick her up and have a good look. (I only noticed it this evening as they were going to roost). Is this possible, and what do I do about it?

Thanks,
Jacky.

Is she walking about ok 3BB?

Any other symptoms, breath smell? Have you had a look in here beak around her nostrils?


Any chance of a photo :)

Hi Sarah,

No, no other symptoms, or smell, and she is walking, eating and drinking normally.

I have taken 2 pictures, 1 of the ear with the white below it, and the 2nd of the normal ear.

Thanks,
Jacky.

It looks pretty normal to me :)

I shouldn't worry too much if she's eating & drinking as normal :)


Sarah :D

Thanks Sarah,

We did think this morning it didn't look like anything to worry about, but I would rather check that it's not some horrible disease that I've never heard of.

Cheers,
Jacky.
