Ulrich, my Rhode Island Red rooster, has some weird scab-type things on his face. They looked really puffy at first and i thought maybe he had been bit by a insect or something. His behavior was normal, he was eating, walking around, crowing, and still mating with the hens. Now, the bumps on his face aren't as swollen. There aren't any new ones, but the present ones are not going away. Yesterday i noticed that his comb and wattles had shrunk at bit. I did not hear him crowing this morning and he seems less active. Maybe it's because he started molting, but i'm worried about his face. If anyone knows what this is, please let me know. The picture isn't clear, but there are more bumps on the side facing the camera and on the other side of his face.
