Granny's gone and done it again

Twist did I say how big curly has been getting? Cause she’s growing so fast!

So. We got the friends truck loaded up. Headed up north as we speak. Pretty sketchybird setup - the tires are half hanging off - wider than the trailer!

Husband is not taking biosecurity seriously at all though. Oh come look at my truck! Come on the property!

Ugh. This is the other reason why none of my chickens are allowed to free range anymore.

I am pretty "chuffed' about her growth, OF course Cassie and Lizzy are bigger BUT Curly has a "sweet" head/horn confirmation

Said last night looks like impetigo . Who has it ? Is she friendly enough to put meds on every day?

NOPE that would require running her thru the squeeze chute everyday and that would require at LEAST 2 PEOPLE

I just find it hard to believe she would allow fly's to bite that many times.

Its not fly strike, you would see maggots Has her hair always been thin there ?

they all have thinner hair on their muzzles BUT her's is thinner then most. Also tends to be pretty sensitive to touch "normally" Curly loves having hers rubbed or scratched.

we could run her thru the chute and douse her muzzle in iodine OR blue coat/vermeculin

that is for sure some type of rash. IF it were on me I would do hydrocortisone ointment and antibiotic. Since that aint happening I think she would benefit from a vet visit for steroid and antibiotic shot. You can wait and see if it spreads or becomes noticeably more red or weeping to call the vet but find his email addy and send this picture over to him asking for advise.
