White on chicken crest?
« on: November 09, 2010, 09:40:29 pm »
Hi

One of my chickens has got a white patch on its 'ear' - the red bit behind the eye that looks like a large earlobe - sorry I dont know its proper name  ???

It looks a bit like fungi maybe - I have not had a chance to get a close look yet. The others are fine, no signs of it. She is behaving normally. Any ideas?  ??? :-[ :-\

Darn - the breed name has escaped me - but it was not white before, it was red.

Copper Stars - thats the one!
