gongladosh Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I'd see if it brushes off - might be something she's pecked at in the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I would see if it bathes off. Is it a discharge or a white deposit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Ashamed to say that when I checked later her beak was clean but she does have some white spots where I assume ears are s'posed to be. can I treat with Canesten? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 It isn't uncommon for the ear lobes to look as if they have been tipexed. Nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Do they bathe off? I could just be a deposit from the food mixed with a bit of water if it vanished from the beak. I would not use canestan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thanks girls - I had been googling fungal infections in chcikens and had worried myself to death. My friend who is a chicken expert said if I read everything chickens could suffer from I would never get them. Not far wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
