I have an naked neck turken rooster. He is around 2 years old. The other day I was cleaning their coop and noticed that he had a large yellow crusty looking mass on his comb. Im not real sure when it first started forming because he has a somewhat large comb that flops over to one side and it was hiding underneath. I waited for my boyfriend to get home so he could hold him for me to take a closer look at it. I noticed at the top of the mass, it looked like there was an opening, & It looks as if you could grab it & it would come right off but that's not the case. It has a funky smell to it as well. I'm clueless as to what it is...he doesn't act bothered by it or seem to act like he feels bad either. Someone had suggested a warble fly larvae but i can't find anything online about them being on chickens. Anyone know what this may be so i can get him taken care of..? It's awful close to his eye and don't want it to get any worse. I attached a picture as well.
