Little Kitten
In the Brooder
Hi I'm a little worried about my rooster's comb
I believe he was pecked and he has an open wound between the top spurs. At first, I noticed it was dirty with black dirt but now I notice that it has puss. I'm worried that it may have infected my other chickens because now I notice their combs have white spots. Should I clean it? My husband feels like it is a fungal infection and water may make it worse and cause it to spread.
Is this a fungal infection? How do you treat it? Are their holistic ways of treating it?
Thank you in advance.
