Hi everyone,
I haven’t been on here in a while but really need some advice. One of my chooks has a strange circular crater on her back. I noticed it about a month ago and it was a lump with red skin around the edge and a scab in the middle. I left it as thought it was healing but nothing happened and so decided to remove the scab only to find it filled with cheesy like puss. I cleaned it out with cotton buds and salt water and then left it. It looked like it was healing but didn’t seem to be going down. I removed the scab again only to find the same cheesy like puss. I have removed the puss on Friday and have been cleaning it with salt water every day. I put Vaseline on it to protect it but that made the scab soggy. I don’t know what is best to do. I have attached a picture of it 12 hours after I removed the scab the second time and cleaned it with salt water. Has anyone else had a chook with the same thing.
