This just showed up today. I cleaned it off this evening but the eye had a yellow crust and a slight yellow crust/discharge was coming out of the nostril on the same side. Any ideas on what this is and how I treat it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

I thought she might have a nest somewhere so I have been keeping her in the run/coop for the past week and nothing. I did introduce a new Columbian Rock pullet to the coop a week ago so maybe that has stalled the process. They do not seem very stressed though.
My Barred Rock Hen laid her first egg off the roost on Sunday July 29 which cracked when it fell. I then found a very soft shelled egg under the roost on Monday morning but I have not seen anything since.
It is coming up on two weeks since she laid her first egg. She seems to be acting...
Thank you so much for the replies! I am new to backyard poultry if you could not tell. I have a Barred Rock and an Easter Eager and both are 26-27 weeks old and I have not seen the first egg yet. I guess my mind started to think something was wrong like the leg mites. I also live in the N. GA...
My Barred Rock has black scales on the front of her legs. I started treatment for mites but maybe she does not have them? Does anyone else have Barred Rocks with black scales on their legs? The scales do not appear to be raised very much. You can see her legs in this photo...
My Barred Rock has black scales as well. I started treatment for mites but maybe she does not have them? Any pics of you rock so I can compare? You can see her leg in this photo.
