Lost #1 Rooster which upset the flock harmony. Battling for position between the next 2 candidates has gbone on for several days and has the entire flock stressed. Treated the new lacerations to their crowns and wattles, cleaned off dried blood and coated with vaseline (will help with potential frostbite). While attending to their battle scars I noticed the smaller roo has white powdery looking patches on his wattles/ear lobes/hanging skin. I tried to wash it off with soapy warm water, to no avail.
Anyone who has experience with this and it's treatment please post. I'm new to chicken-arama and be feel lost.
I'm including several pictures of what is growing on him.

I picked up a treatment from a farm and feed store called Bantxx that is an antifungal and I will give it a try. BTW, this Roo's comb fell over when he was very young. We named him Jack from the nursery rhyme "Jack fell down and broke his crown". But he has always been a great protector for my hens.





Thank you so much for your attention and effort. What goes around, comes around.
 
Hmmm... mostly here for moral support. Does appear fungal. I will be watching, as my Speckled Sussex’s earlobes are loooking white and my Buff Orpington’s earlobes are whitish in the centers. He seems healthy otherwise, right? Maybe you need to examine him for signs of illness. Chickens are very good at hiding weakness, as I’m sure you know.
