Hi, my silkie rooster has an infection in the crease of his comb. It is all yellow pus, I have cleaned it out a few times with q tips, and put antiseptic powder on it but it keeps coming back. Any suggestions as to what I can do for it please?
My silkie chicks seemed a bit quiet this morning and then I noticed their food bowl was still full. I took it away for an hour and when I put it back they paid no attention to it. They are incubator hatched and in an outdoor brooder, without heat. They do seem thirsty. No blood in their bedding...
I live in Tasmania, and breed and show silkie chickens. I used to have over 100 in various colours, however due to age restraints cut back hard and now have far less and only whites. I pride myself on presenting sparkling white silkies at shows, lot of work but worth it!
I am retired, married...
