Favus?

[Henny_in_Tenne]

Can I please get an opinion about whether this is Favus or something else. My handsome guy is 7 1/2 months old and has had this white on his comb since the beginning. He is a healthy bird otherwise and none of my 8 other chicks are affected.

He’s not really the kind of guy who likes to be handled so if I do need to treat him, any tips on how to do so while causing as little stress as possible for him would be appreciated.

It looks enough like favus that I would treat him. Take him off the roost at night. Have someone hold him or wrap him in a towel and apply the antifungal ointment.

Monistat 7 ( miconazole) and Lotrimin, Canestan (clotrimazole) can be used daily to treat favus. Dollar Tree seels small tubes of clotrimazole for a dollar. Here is somer eading about favus and a picture:
