surferdog Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Just noticed that Coco's ears looked very white. On closer inspection she appears to have a white chalky discharge from them. I've searched on the internet but can't find out what this might be. Has anyone come across this before and do I need to be worried? She's eating and drinking normally and happily running round the garden so doesn't seem to feel poorly. I'm going to wait until they've gone to bed and then haul her out and bring her indoors for a clean up (She is the flightiest and I have no hope of catching her in daylight hours ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 My Tikka has the tippexed earlobe look. It is nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surferdog Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Thank you both for your replies. Updated to say that whatever it was seems to have cleared up now. Was very noticeable as she is a red hen with bright red (normally) ears. (OH has the theory it was from hanging around under the bird feeder and a bird had pooed on her head....)
