Noticed that there is a growth on one of my Silkie’s nose. I haven’t notice anything else from any of the flock. She seems fine. They do come out and free range for a couple hours a day. I put vetRX on it today
Anyone have a clue to what this could be?
I wouldn't use VetRx on it.
Let's have @Eggcessive take a look - there's a name for some type of growth and I never can remember it
It make be that she rubbed in on wire/a feeder, etc. and it's a small wound. If you feel it needs something on it, then I would use coconut oil or even vaseline. Her skin is a bit crusty around her face, for me VetRx seems to be quite drying, I've found vaseline to actually do a better job for me.
Also while you are checking her over - look for lice and mites.
Many of these lesions can be from an injury or cut on the beak from a feeder or wire fencing as @Wyorp Rock has said. In some older threads it was suggested that it might be from a papillomavirus, and may fall off eventually. The problem we have is that few people update their threads telling us what happened. I might dab on a drop of Betadine. Here is some reading: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/wart-or-growth-on-beak.246282/
