Help! Swollen wattle in rooster!!!

[karrie]

If you were here in Texas, I'd say it looks like a brown recluse spider bite! That looks serious!

Sorry to be the bearer I bad news but that looks like one of these poultry diseases

Mycoplasma, coryza or Bird flu !!!

Hum I would.say bite..but you have another chicken with it. I would try giving an antihistimine and then an antibiotic. I have no idea.the cause...do you have biting ants?

I have a hen with one long red wattle and 2 black bumps that are the size of peas at the end of her wattle.
The lumps are not scabby , but smooth and small pea size

No other birds have this. I put her in a seperate coop.

Could you get another better picture? It's possible that she might have fowl pox, but hard to tell from the pic. Is there anything wrong with her beak?

 

[maryellen21]

She is super flighty as I've had her since Oct 28. She is a breda so the breed has cavernous nostrils

 

[maryellen21]

I see the black mark on her beak. It looks like dirt or fowl pox.
I have her in my infirmary coop away from everyone else

Fowl pox typically is found on comb, wattles, face, and ears, as well as other feathered or non-feathered area. It is a virus carried by mosquitoes, and lasts 2-3 weeks. Normally it goes away without problems, unless there are secondary infections. I still can't tell a lot from the picture, wherher it is pox or not.

We are seeing the farm vet tonight to see what it is
