The chicks are bantams and are a few weeks old. The mother had a problem weeks ago. Found her in the garden not doing so well, she had bumps all over her face (I didn’t get a photo, sadly) so she was put in a small pen with a heat lamp and the chicks. It looked like scabs from some sort of fight but now with chicks also getting bumps, I’m second guessing.
Out of 8 chicks, 3 of them have these bumps. They’re getting so big to the point where they cannot eat. The one I caught was very weak and had a empty crop. The other 2 have slightly smaller bumps. The mother has completely healed since and is doing fine. Is this some sort of disease? If so, what? Location is SE Texas (near the gulf) if that helps.
