Keith RW Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Evening all, Can anyone identify what this growth is that was found on a flightless Pheasants recently, one suggestion is that it may be an injury that has manifested itself on a pricked bird. i've never come across such before.

7daysinaweek Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Agreed with other posters. Could either be a cyst or an abscess, unlikely one will never know how it occurred unless you carry out some minor surgery by cutting open the growth and finding a foreign body (FB) to confirm a possible cause of the growth. It could have been caused by trauma or natural occurrence from cell destruction within the inner tissue by the immune system response to a host bacteria, that is the most common cause of abscess formation. Other external causes such as a blocked feather duct can also cause abscess formation, the same as blocked hair ducts can in humans. Animals in many ways are not unlike humans in their pathophysiology. Best thing for it to be out of it's way as it would of sooner likely succumbed in some way. Don't fancy JKD recipe suggestion, nothing like a spurting prurulent abscess to put you off yer fodder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fellside Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 My two penneth. I think it is a tumor, i.e abnormal cells growing out of control, either malignant or benign. Cut it off and fry in a hot griddle - might be quite chewy though…… 😝😳😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
