My dear yearling Ruby has some strange stuff happening. Her ear wattles are turning white speckeled, she has a growth at the base of her beak and has very strange things happening to the top of her head-it looks like she is growing more wattle type skin where she used to have feathers. She just finished a molt. I am not sure if she is laying. She is eating, drinking and pooping just fine. The growth on the beak is only on the outside. It seems warmish when touched. Anyone?
See that big bump at the back of the beak? Hard and warm to touch.
This is the red "comb" like skin now growing on the top of her head. Sorry hard to see. Looks just like the skin on her face, just fewer bumps and a pinker color
