Urgent!! 🆘

[B_Chickle01]

It doesnt look like fowl pox to me, I've dealt with it. It could be bug bites though. Either that and/or the hens are picking/pecking at his comb. I've seen it happen.

I too originally thought peck marks until had more appear after me having him isolated from everyone because of him being ill.

Looks like this guy has been fighting or getting nipped by the hens.

I thought same until he was isolated from rest of flock from being sick and they continued to appear.

My birds just had pox, and some looked like this. But it could be pecking wounds. It was the thing in his beak that made me think pox.

Either way, there's no treatment, and things will clear up on their own.

Thats the same thing that made me question it.. was seeing marks inside mouth and figured maybe I should come on here and be sure thats whats happening

Some tips of his comb seem frostbitten, the one in front has either been bitten off or came off by itself after frostbite.

The other smaller lesions might be from pecking or insect bites.

In any case, I would check him over very carefully, as he might have been attacked by an unsuccessful smaller predator. It is easy to miss the lesions underneath the plumage.

Please, post a picture of the inside of his beak, lower part and upper part too.

What do you mean? Where are you referring to exactly that appears if it either fell off or was bitten off?
I have been checking him and did not find any other kind of cuts or lesions what kind of smaller predator would create marks like this? I thankfully haven't dealt with a lot of predator attacks(besides first yr owned them lost one to hawk) so am just curious. Attached a few photos I got between last night and tonight. Cant see much and he was getting stressed so I put him back so he could relax and have some mash. If you need me to take better ones let me know and ill take them in the morning and upload them ASAP for you! The first pic idk if u can see what mark I'm asking about .. on side of top beak.. is that canker possibly?

I had a feeling! Whats odd is it looked like this when field inspector from Dept of AG came for testing and I pointed it out to her and asked what the tips were they seem old looking and she said frost bite. It didnt appear as such. Im going to get a better look in a min but what I saw inside bottom beak didn't look anything like photos of lesions due to fowl pox. What is this in corner on his eye? Hes very lame and has no balance..fowl pox can do this? This is first time Ive ever witnessed any thing along these lines in person especially within my own flock

Field inspector?

This is what I mean

In the first picture of his upper beak the dark part seems to be a lesion and some yellowish gunk can be seen too.
How does it smell when you sniff him right in front of his open beak?
