Has anyone ever seen white bumps like these before?? She’s gotten them before on her wattles. They don’t scab or dry up they just start to shrink and eventually go away. She’s gotten them before on her wattles, on the other side. And once on the back of her neck (only reason I knew about it was because she was molting). This is the first one on her face, right below/behind her eye). Not sure if I should be worried. The two small wattle ones have been there for a month. The eye one is new as of yesterday. They don’t seem to bother her. I’m just worried about the one being so close to her eye.
none of the other hens have ever had any bumps.

I wonder if they can be ant bites?
Are they always in the same spot?
No they aren’t. But it’s always on her wattles... this big one below her eye is the first one I’ve seen off of her wattles. I don’t think I have ever seen an ant in the coop/run... I’m sure there have got to be some, but not enough to where she’s constantly getting bitten on her face and no one else is....

Do chickens have pores? Like could she be getting clogged pores?
