Thank you for your reply.
I’m a bit more concerned today, she keeps closing her eyes half way. Going to try what we can at home but might need antibiotics from the vet.
She’s an Olive Egger.

Just noticed this on an almost 10 week old pullet’s beak. Could this be an abscess?
She looks a bit pale too (but also hard for me to tell because she hasn’t started to pink up yet). Eating, drinking, keeping up with the flock.
Any insight is appreciated
Thank you very much, I will look into added vitamins and nutrients right away.
If anything, she would pick at the others lol. I’ve never seen the “boys” peck at her.
I wasn’t sure which forum to post this in. We are new to chickens and learning as we go.
I noticed my EE pullet’s feathers are starting to look all frayed? She is 8 weeks old and on a grower feed, 15% protein.
She is in a coop with two suspected cockerels, but she seems to be the “queen...
Do early red combs always indicate cockerel?
These two olive eggers are from the same hatch (I know it’s early, they’re only 4 weeks old)
I’m betting I’ve got one pullet and one cockerel 😅
