Hi everyone.
This post is about Pudding, my 5 year old bantam Cochin.
I've added a few pictures to more properly show what exactly is wrong.
Pudding has always been on the quiet and demure side but lately it's been getting worse. She also has weird growths around her nostrils, which have also gotten bigger faster. She seems to be okay-ish breathing through her nose but often also breathes kinda wheezy with her beak open. Yesterday I noticed she was quite orange instead of her usual red in her comb. I'm not exactly sure what is going on with her and google hasn't really cleared things up either. She is okay in the flock, always has been a bit of the underdog but no severe bullying ect. She does eat and drink okay, from what I can tell. I'm not sure egg wise how she's doing. My main concern currently is how orange she is in the comb and often yellow around the eyes. Plus the weird nostril things. There aren't exactly chicken specialized vets in my area so I'm not super sure what steps to take next.
If anyone has a clue, I'd love to hear it.
