I have 15 Buff Orpington pullets, and 2 Buff Orpington cockerels, all 18 weeks old.
Yesterday, I was hanging out at the coop, and I noticed a greenish/bluish spot on the face of one of the pullets. I picked her up and checked her out, and it looks like her earlobe is a big bruise. Here is a picture:
It is kind of a greenish/bluish color, and it looks kind of swollen also. The other side of her head has a much smaller greenish/bluish spot on the earlobe.
I looked at her again this afternoon, and it looks about the same. She seems to be just as active and healthy as the other pullets, other than this.
Is this a bruise?
Thanks in advance,
Christine
