Got it thanks for the advice! I normally don’t touch the frostbite areas, when it happens they just normally heal on their own with time like you said.
The temp at night does drop around 15 degrees, however I bought the meter anyways as you do bring up a good point but my other chickens do not have any signs of frostbite, only this rooster and another golden comet rooster, all hens are fine with no frostbite
Hey everyone,
My rooster has a small yellow spot on his crest, was wondering what it could be? I read fowl pox but it’s just flat, not sure if that makes a difference
Notes:
It’s been cold around 20-45 for a couple months, and he’s been eating and drinking fine
Just did another look but with someone helping me with a flash light and we verified with another chicken his throat looks good just some grass in both of their throats
I looked inside and saw no white spots or lesions, there was a single piece of grass but he’s been foraging throughout the day right now, he is also still continuing to do it, not to the same level but he opens his mouth a bit then shakes, still eating, drinking, and crop feels good
He is eating well, he always eats and drinks fine, when I touched his crop it felt soft on how it usually is, he also poops fine but sometimes poops watery but he’s been doing this for months now and acts fine
Does anyone have an idea why my rooster is doing this, he’s like yawning or gasping while shaking head, below is a link for a video on Reddit of what he’s doing

I plan on using elector psp on Thursday because that’s when it gets here, as he’s...
I plan on treating him this Thursday but today he just started yawning again, he’s done it in the past but only started recently,

Below is a Reddit link to see the video as I do not know how to post the video here, I am not sure what to do and am...
Where would I get either, and just to confirm, the mites are most likely whats causing him to peck at himself and that is why he lost a couple feathers and had that scab?
No, but recently he has started pecking himself a lot more then usual, but I checked him for lice and mites and theres nothing on his body, he also takes dust baths, eats and drinks as usual
And for the sneezing video, yes that is how it sounds, very high pitch with a head turn, I have seen all of my chickens do it once a day and then don't do it again but sometimes it is more
