Is it favus? Please HELP!

[Chicken0Boy]

Ok, so my roo has 2 white powdery spots on him, and a few black spots. At first I thought it was just picking but then I saw the white spots. He is very lively, poop is normal, and he still hangs out with everyone. I also have a hen with a few black spots on her. She acts normal though. They are both about a year old. So, here are my questions!

1.Is this favus or just picking?
2.I have some Nystatin...can I use it on them if it is favus?

Thanks in advance!

I can't believe Nystatin would do any harm; it's a pretty benign drug and I've never heard of an allergy to it. I would.

You know, when you bump your own thread, it registers as a reply, so it won't show up in unanswered posts. Then when some of us go through the unanswered posts to see if we can help someone, it doesn't show up. The only reason I saw this is I left the computer about two hours ago and left it on BYC.

Oh, didnt know that thank you though!

I guess I will use the Nystatin tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure I am dealing with the same thing right now, so I found an over the counter anti-fungal cream. I just went out in the dark and put it on the spots, hoping to keep it on them for at least the next 8 hours.

I am going to start the nystatin tomorrow. Wish me luck!
