In the Brooder
Hello, I need help identifying the issue with my rooster. I am new to chickens. I've asked several people with experience, but no one can tell me whats going on here.
The pictures could be better. It's difficult to wrangle them and take the pictures solo.
This is my Jersey Giant Rooster. He is a year old. The area of concern is at the base of his saddle. The protruding thing is half an inch or better. Red and maybe a little swollen, but not hot to the touch. The redness can even be seen on his back end above his vent (Is it still called a vent in roosters?). That redness alerted me to the bump thing. The end of the protrusion has a few tiny feathers of it.
He seems to be acting completely normal. Eating and watching over my hens.
My first thought is some kind of ingrown feather.
Any advice would be welcomed. If there is any more information I can provide, please ask.
