What is this???? HELP Please with PICS

[Three Cedars Silkies]

A good long soak in warm water...try to get the scabby part as soft as possible and take as much off as you can. I agree with the icthammol. It will soften and draw the lesion. Needs to be done everyday.

Looks like an abscess to me. Probably caused by an ingrown feather, as others have suggested.

You definitely have to clean that. I would treat her with antibiotics too.

I am frightened to mess with it. I will try tonight though when she goes on to roost.

There is no need to be frightened.....

I can pretty much do what I want to my flock and they just lay there, but I am very hands on. Night time would probley be the best time to work on her but you need good light on the area. I would clean it out asap. Remember to wash up before and really well after!!

Thats what I thought at first she really is a mess.

I wouldn't think cancer. I really think it is a abcess, or sore or something to that affect.
