I just moved this pullet (Blue) and 11 other pullets to my main coop where my 24 hens live, theyve been locked up for a week and i let them put today. I was checking my pullets to make sure they werent beat up, when i noticed this on Blue's face.
Shes shy of me so it may have always been there and i didnt notice, but i separated her from the others in case it was serious.
These are the growth/scab things, theres two by her beak and one above her eye.
Above view - you can see it protrudes far
The other side of her face, it has nothing on it.
She acts normal - eats fine, runs from me when i get close
Shes really healthy, her feathers are as silky and soft as theyve always been and her body is firm and muscled. She isnt acting different at all.
I really need to know if its something dangerous, ive got six other pullets im taking to a fair and i dont want to spread anything!!
