Lump on bantam rooster

[Weeg]

Are these two identical tumorlike growths each side of his parsons' nose?

I believe so.

I would leave it alone and wait for warmer temperatures for better fertilization.

Due to their shorter legs bantams are even closer to the frozen ground than standard size roosters, and it is a well-known fact that roosters in general need much more warmth, sunlight and vitamin E for proper sperm development than hens for their ovulation.

Interesting. Guess we'll have to see what we get in the summer. Thanks for informing me of this.

Sorry its been a while since I updated this thread, we were finally able to get some photos the other day. Decided to hold out for the fancy camera so that you could get a good visual. I should be abel to upload them very soon.
It hasn't gotten any bigger, and Diva seems to be doing fine. Supposedly he was acting sluggish the other day, but I think that may be been because it got cold.

Is this bantam rooster a Silkie or Silkie mix?

He isn't a Silkie, he's a Black Tailed White Japanese bantam. Sorry for missing this.

Errrrmm... quite a lot of hand, indeed!

I would like you to take some pictures of his preening gland and its immediate surroundings with as little hand as possible. Maybe have someone helping you?

To me, the little skin I am able to see looks very red and might be infected.

I figured it might be hard to tell. was trying to part the feathers and show where they were. We can get more.
