No worries. You're the first person who has seen something similar I've encountered. Punk does not like being caught and won't come into the place I was catching him. From what I see as I get food close is he seems fine. At some point I will catch him again and check it out to make sure but...

I never got them tested. I called a vet and they said that they had likely been out too long. If it is some form of staff the vet said an injection that would work for bumble foot would take care of it. Punk never seemed to be ill or acting strange. His feathers were grungy for a bit but...

What happened with the hen? I have a rooster that has odd pockets white material in his comb. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1133166. I thought it was just slough off the comb but I wonder now if it is some sort of staff infection. It seems to be inside some section with hard nodules and...

Update: Saw some white on the comb and caught the rooster (punk). More white stuff. in the area that the large pocket was in. It was filling in between flaps in the comb, forming to their shape. I can't see any other source for the material then slough off the comb. There is no hole that...

Looked back at the pics and realized that I knew where and what the pockets were but after cleaned it was hard to tell from the rest.

I think it seems better and less tender though I don't know if the roo notices unless I'm poking at it. He definitely reacted better to the follow up than the removal. I'm not sure there was any life threatening issue. I'm not positive what it was. It did not seem unhealthy but then...

Just checked the comb and the area has expanded back out and the pore? seems recovered. I believe it is less tender as he didn't seem to mind me looking at it as much.

Yitch, cellular slough, white or yellowish, hard or cheese like consistency. I don't think it's infection, but I don't want it to turn into anything. Some of the pockets are fairly impacted. Once the top becomes hard enough there is no exit and so it builds like a cyst. I think it's a feather...

I had a chicken with water belly (ascites) which this sounds like. Yellow fluid and all. Good article on it : http://www.thepamperedpulletsfarm.com/Water_Belly.html First guess would be a nick to a digestive wall from the needle that let contamination into the body cavity. The fluid is...

I don't know about the injection. I had an adult that a had a long cut along the neck and the skin definately was loose and flapped around. I neosporined and taped it close as best I could so dirt etc wouldn't get in and it healed fine. It was ... difficult to get the tape out of the neck...

The pictures. Unfortunatley the largest pocket didn't focus well. Pictures show me pulling yitch out of these pockets. One which was blurry with the yitch in it you can see after it's been cleaned out. Previously cleaned ones seem to close up and be fine. Still interested if anyone has...

Yah not a lot of zoom on the pic so I cropped this out. Should show it better.

I pulled some out. If you click on the picture you can get a bit better view and look at number 1. It's just a small pea sized spot and when worked a whitish ball of slug will come out. I don't believe there is anything diseased but could find nothing on this...zit type pocket. When I have...

I have not been able to lure him into the pump house to catch him. I took this with a telephoto so not the best shadowing from bright sun. 1) I think this may be a pocket but will have to catch him to be sure 2) deeper crevasse and the debris can be cleaned out 3) same as 2

I read quite a bit about the pox and don't believe it's pox. The comb looks fine with no dead or discolored spots. No ulcers or scabs. I hope to get some pics tonight but he is wary and not happy about being caught. Do people typically vaccinate for pox in the small flocks? Can you vaccinate...

Many of the disinfectants like hydrogen peroxide, alcohol are effective but the same way they kill the microbes they tend to kills the cells on the surface. They are disinfectants rather than antibiotics. I have used very concentrated hydrogen peroxide and it instantly turns your skin white...

I would use one of the triple antibiotics like neosporin or bacitracin. Cortisone is a hormone from the adrenal glands and is for itch rash or inflamation. It isn't a healer specifically and I don't believe is going to help in this case.

I'll try and get some pictures. He is not the most cooperative rooster. They aren't the squeezing type of zit. They are on the surface and it is more working the ball (zit) loose and it just comes out. Maybe more blackhead like. The skin holding the ball shaped wad of sluf. Once they are...

My rooster has... zits? Mega zits. It seems that the comb grows over a skin sluf location and makes this pocket of white paste like material. Some are harder. Took to it with tweezers and pulled some crazy balls of yitch out. Some were about 1/4 " in diameter. Rooster wasn't too happy but...

Chickens heal from some pretty nasty wounds. I had one with in neck layed open for about 2 inches, skin kinda flapping and loose at the edges. Little neosporin and taped it up and she did fine. You should keep them separate till pretty healed.
