So I brought one of my pretty boys inside because hes acting as if he has a leg injury. I was scared it could be something else - disease or sickness related - so I wanted to watch him and check him thoroughly. (Currently medicating flock for coccidiosis)
His leg does appear injury related but I noticed his wattles are a bit shunk? I'm not sure if he's always looked like this or not to be honest. Pictures from last month his wattles were the same but could this mean he's been sick or dehydrated for a while? Hes so sweet and i dont want to loose him, so if this could mean something worse, please let me know! Or if its just a genetic trait. (Hes a mix of a Easter egger and lavendar orp)

I'm not an expert, but other than the scab from pecking?, his wattles look fine to me. All of my EE boys either have no visible wattles or very tiny wattles :)
If they look the same as the pictures, I would not worry about them. Hope his leg feels better soon - He is beautiful!
