Something wrong with Rooster's crown? Thread 2

[Pastel the Rooster]

Hey you might recall that Pastel's crown was very buggy... at the beginning of the summer. Now it is even worse. I am worried it is going to get infected if I don't get help. I've been putting Blu-Kote on it. But I can not spray the wound. because it is near (and on his earlobe) and near his face and I do not want to bury him even more. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I CAN PUT ON HIS CROWN WITHOUT HURTING HIM!

I will send pictures when I get the chance.

That would be good.
Too bad you used blukote tho, as it probably covers up any clues a pic might offer.

I only used a little. Using cotton Swabs, so it only covers a little and not that well. It has probably already come off

Well then, post some pics.
It's pretty hard impossible to help you diagnosis the problem without seeing what it is.

This works I personally use it on roosters and hens crowns and on eyelids. 4 drops of organic turmeric oil, 2 teaspoons honey, 2 tablespoons Bag Balm. Apply once daily 3 days or until condition improves. Tumeric oil is medicinal gold for skin disease, wounds and internally as for wellness/immunity boost.

More on treating Pastel the Rooster. Turmeric oil is pH 6 close to pH of blood, honey has antiseptic properties as does Bag Balm. When these are used mixed together for topical treatment as I suggested it did no harm to my flock. It is NOT For Deep Wounds when a chicken might need stitches. An excellent website to teach chicken owners medical for poultry flocks is www.poultrydvm.org

Spray it with Vetericyn, available at Feed stores, TSC & online. I had a guinea years ago that was attacked by another guinea. He was so swollen I thought he had lost his eyes. I couldn't get close to him, but everyday a few times I would put the Vetericyn on spray & get his whole head from 10 or more feet away. He healed up perfectly,

Poor Guinea! I have a question that I am going to ask you in one second... I'm gonna get some pictures of Pastels crown and then once I come inside I will post the guinea question. Also I am treating my RIR hen for Bumblefoot right now, but my local TSC and feedstore do not have Vetercyn +plus.
