What is this?

Hmm, I have no idea! Maybe a picture from another angle? @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock @Overo Mare @azygous

That's strange indeed. I'm not sure. Maybe one of the others will have a better idea.

Maybe a weird comb..?

Is this a mix? It could be a funky comb stemming from the two parents.

I can get a side picture in the morning if needed.

The nares may be clogged and it would result in swelling of the beak around them.

You must examine this chicken closely, and be prepared to clean out the nares, softening the gunk with mineral oil. There's a chance that there may be infection. You would then treat the inside of the nares with Neosporin.

It's a normal thing to happen with Polish Chickens due to their skull type.
