I can send you my two 5.5 year old Faverolles. Never were particularly good layers, and not in the winter even though they are "supposed to be" winter layers. They do go broody 2 or 3 times a year though.One does get attached. I personally love broodies. Hope to have a few in my new flock.
It look's like she broke open the skin in that area. I hope that it doesn't get infected.
I believe All the pink gets more red when they are about to lay - 5 - 6 months..Put some tripe antibiotic on it it may itch less too . Reg not the one with pain relief
I would worry about WHY the chick is scratching so vigorously. That isn't normal. Any possibility of mites?
Mites, allergies, yeast infection in the ear... gotta be something. Hope you get it figured out!
Vet looked at her today and remarked her skin looked good and was healing well. She said not too worry too much about it being slightly pink as it may just be from being warm, or active...she said no mites, like, infections or yeast/fungi. She said it is most likely neurological and may just be something we have to keep an eye on. On the plus side, except the scratching the vet said she is very healthy. She also said her scratching currently seems to be normal and is likely from her skin healing or new feathers erupting. So...guess it is what it is. I’m still putting vitamin E oil, neosporin and Benadryl cream on it, hoping it’ll get much better.
That's good to hear. So maybe it's just like when you have a new eyelash growing in and it makes your eyelid all twitchy and weird feeling and you just want to rub and scratch it until you get pinkeye... hahahaha!!!! Or am I the only one that happens to??
Is that why my lid gets twitchy ??? Gah I hate that !That's good to hear.
