I will post pics in order of when I first noticed to today. About 10 days now.
I thought she was just getting picked on because she is the smallest and was one of 2 newbies a few months ago. But it's getting SO much worse. It's hard as a rock, swollen to about 3/4 inch thick, cracking, bleeding and almost looks like it's eating through the comb. She has wart looking spots on her waddles, eye, and ears as well. The feed store said it was a fungal infection and to put neosporin on it for a week. Well it's not helping. I don't want her to suffer but I'm not willing to drop $100 on a vet visit either. I'm also afraid for the rest of my flock.
Some facts: She is eating, drinking and laying normally.
Please any opinions on what this might be, what her prognosis is and if it's contagious. Also are her eggs safe?
