I'm so glad I've stumbled across this thread!!. A few days ago I noticed my young Pekin Cross had a large round dry lump on the side of her head where her ear is. It looks near enough the same as your silkies. At first I thought the worst thinking it could be a cancerous tumour or something that would be out of my control.
It wasn't until tonight when I was putting the chickens to bed I had my tourch and looked at the lump on her head and saw that there was a yellow discharge coming from it so now I'm near enough certain this is an ear infection, especially after reading your post.
I'll try and get some pictures of it tomorrow but it may be difficult as she is quite timid.
I was just wondering what your best advice is on removing the lump with? Or is this something that will sort it's self out (I'm quite doubtful, but you never know). I'm quite apprehensions to do this as it's quite a delicate area of the body and I wouldn't want to make it worse but I feel something really needs to be done. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I'll try my best to get the pictures tomorrow for a better idea of what it looks like
I know this was a couple of years ago now, but after the plug came out, did you notice she would growl at anything that made noise? I unplugged my bantams ear and she wont stop growling at trees and the creaking fence, all I can put it down to is being able to hear more.....
