Hi all,

Could anyone tell me what this is on my 10 week old chick? When i first noticed it i thought it was just something stuck to her beak but on closer inspection and i tried to remove it ,she cried and thats when i realised its a growth! She is doing all chickeny things so it isn't stopping her, but would like a little advice please.

is it a thoen stuck in?
You do need to get somebody to hold her still then have a proper close look - with a magnifying glass if necessary.

Hi Joyfull,

Dont have anything thorny but just had a good look as ya never know. It isnt anything sticking in but something growing there. Its clearly not as tender today as it was when i first touched it, its the same colour as her beak and wart like?!?!

Well this is a new one to me.  How fascinating!  If s/he is doing all the chickeny things and it doesn't seem to be causing him/her any discomfort I would be inclined to leave it for now but keep an eye on it to see if it changes size shape or colour.  If it starts to affect him/her a visit to the vet may be called for.
