I have got a brahma hen who has got an absess (I think!). It was a lump covered by a scab. Anyway I picked the scab off and got the lump out and it left a hole which looks like it has now closed up. I disinfected it etc.
Anyway I looked at her again today, and I am now wondering if it wasn't an infection from a wound, but it might be from an absess from inside because it looks like the lump is forming under the skin again. Should I try antibiotics? I thought she had got an infection after the rooster had stratched her back (she is missing some feathers from his amorous attentions!).
