What is wrong with my Gouldian?
Posted: 21 May 2022, 22:09
Hello,
I've been breeding Gouldians for a couple of years in a large outdoor aviary. One of my hens was balding a bit, but she was also breeding and laying eggs so I thought it was an overenthusiastic male. As she was brooding I barely saw her as I only do nest inspections around the day I expect them to hatch.
The hen has a massive lump on her head and is very bald on one side. The lump is pulling up her eyelid a bit as well. What's wrong with her? And more importantly how can I treat her! Unfortunately I don't have access to a quality avian vet.
With kind regards,
