Bad fight or a disease

[duncanette]

This is so bizzare. His down looks horrible, and his outter feathers are caked dry with idk. If it were blood, it's an aweful lot.
The areas on his face, beige area, healing tissue? But the fuzzy white stuff is weird and seems an odd place for loose down. It looks moldy. He's free range, he has been going after my Jr Brahma too and blue Wheaton am rood, but they usually run from him, and this was up until yesterday, I found him like this today. Wondering if anyone has seen this. Is it a bad fight or some disease I'm not aware of. All others are fine. This is my second year and have only had minor squabbles. This guy is actually my australorps wing man. So idk.

Hello, looks like a fight, but his eyes look a little weird to me. Was he vaccinated for Marek's?

He's always had those crazy wide eyes. I got him from TS and the hatchery they use is Hoover's. He was one of my first chicks. I never asked them.

I asked because many times those crazy eyes are ocular Marek's. Can you get some close-ups of his eyes?

He was in a fight. Combs will bleed a lot, though it usually looks a lot worse than it actually is. The “mold” and beige bits are debris that stuck to his face. It looks like bits of feathers and leaves.

Yes, I separated him. Give me a min to run out and take pic. Ughhhh I also just googled it. During summer he broke out with pox,he had it the worst. A week later it was all gone. A few of the others had mild scabs.
I was told it would be ok as long as I didn't bring any new home and basically had to wait until the chickens lived their lives. Ughhh I'll go get the pics.

OMG...and it's not the flash right. What do I do?
If he was fine yesterday and today this, would the other chickens attack him because they know he's sick?

And the ocular milkyness is new. His wide eyes is what people comment on first and I see him everyday.

The white film is not good. Is a vet an option?
