My rooster has been like this since i got back from a two week vacation six days ago. He has two small white bumps on his comb, i will get pictures soon, i don't want to stress him out. When i saw them i thought of fowl pox, but he hasn't developed any more since i noticed the first two though they are both still there.
He also has a pale face, not horribly but it is very noticeable when compared to his usual red face. His comb and wattles are still their usual color though.
There is a bit of liquid coming out of his nostrils as well, it's not a lot of liquid, but there is a constant wetness under his nostrils where there wasn't before. The same thing happened to him close to this time last year as well but went away within a week.
He is a one hear old mixed breed rooster (brahma, Jersey giant, barred rock). He hasn't lost any weight and is eating and drinking and doing rooster things normally. He's going through his first molt and he is an absolute mess. The entire flock (excluding the chicks of course) are on layers feed (crumbles but i usually prefer pellets) and have access to clean water constantly. I was going to switch to flock raiser this week but i don't want to change feed around until rooster seems healthy again.
He is in a flock of four hens and three ten week old chicks in a grow out coop inside the large run.
I hope I've included enough information here, I'm very worried about him he's never been sick since I've had him (it will be a year in October).
