Do you think it's infected? Him and my other silkie rooster Pepper get into it and Pepper goes for the comb a lot of the time
If pus or anything other than blood came out of it, probably.
Yeah it was strange it didn't look like pus just really liquidity. I put Vetericyn plus on it before I put them to bed and in the afternoon I put neosporin on and drained it
It actually is cold here we had a big winter storm we had a big cold snap but its warming up some the last few day . Maybe a blister
I was at first thinking it could have been frostbite but it wasn't black and there's a scab from pepper getting him in the comb . My bantam rooster has a bit of frostbite but it's looks to be not bad and I think he will be all good.
Well now I'm thinking maybe it's not a infection the tissue was kinda grayish yellow , it was cold feeling but not as much as when it was in the single digits it was only a few days though it's back up to the mid to high 20s and going up but the fluid was kinda clear also . If so then I messed up when it shot the liquid out and i drained it
Well thats the bummer part both my silkies turned out to be roos this year so I only let them supervised in with my main flock. Theres 10 hens and one bantam roo who's very small they have fought before to but lately it's been way less and the silkies even will be good boys around the others and the bantam. The silkies have thier own area and coop also. Pepper can be but pickles will bite his butt sometimes to it kinda a back and forth. A lot of the time they do get along though
