I have a 10 wk roo with a bump forming on its beak. I'm a new chicken mom and don't know if this is normal. I've looked online but can't find anything. This site has been a life saver in this new adventure, thanks for any thoughts!

It looks like the mystery "wart on beak" disease in a whole bunch of posts on BYC. I have seen a lot of these where some thought they were from injuries on metal feeders or fencing, viruses, cysts, and some fall off, but no one seems to ever get a diagnosis. Here are some of those threads:

Thanks, it seems like no one can figure this out. One even saw a vet and they didn't know either. I'll keep an eye on it, hope its nothing, I wanted to breed him.
