Hi everyone!

So, I have been raising poultry for the past 11 years, and I currently have a Bantam Modern Game with either a nose infection or she scrapped of the entire surface off her nostril.

It really does not look very good.
There is no blood. But her nose is pretty messed up. There is either a piece of cartalidge, bone, or hardened snot that is blocking the opening of the nostril. It is movable, but she really does not like it when I try to remove it.

Any advice? Thanks everyone. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm hoping she is well and healed before the GCPF show in the beginning of January.

Here is a picture of her.

She's very pretty. Click on forum above - from the drop down menu, click on Raising backyard chickens. A side tab will open, scroll down to "emergencies, diseases, injuries, cures," thread.

You start a post there regarding your hen's nose injury- the same way you posted in the new members thread. Please post in detail along with picture of your hen, list any thing that seems
connected ie., was she in a fight with another bird, etc.
 
Hello :frow Welcome to BYC and Happy Holidays! Hope your little bantam is OK.
 
Hi everyone!
Thank you so much for the warm welcome!
I am really excited to get to know a bunch of people who are just as obsessed with poultry as I am.
