Roo sty?

It kind of looks more like a cyst just from the picture. Do you see any peck marks on it? It is in a region where we see some respiratory sinus infections, but for some reason, that doesn’t look like it to me. Would you be will to try and lance it with a sterilized needle to see if you could get any pus or cheese-like material out of it? I had a rooster with a hard cyst on his eyelid once, and it din’t grow. Has this been there long? It going to a vet possible?

Shamefully I only noticed it yesterday. I hate these early nights. I don’t spend as much time with my flock as I should. By the time I get home from work it’s dark...and too much other adulting has been needing to happen too.

Vet - probably not. I may try lancing it tomorrow after work (before hubs gets all gta-happy...). Any advice on that or just sterilize a needle, poke and squeeze like a zit? Can stop by tsc after work for supplies.

Wyorp/Eggcessive, Thanks for stopping. It didnt look like a normal infection pocket to me either like , its perfectly round. I do see a tiny pimple dot on the underside . I think ?

Could be that or odd flash reflection. I think I’ve plucked the poor guy from his roost enough tonight and I think hubs may have me sleep in the chicken coop if I bring him in again! Lol

Mouth looks good to me. I wonder if a warm wet compress would help bring that to a head. Maybe try that before lancing.

If you are going to lance it, sterilize the needle and the cyst really good. Gentle squeezing... you don't want to smush anything farther back inside.

dont need to. The picture is right there. If I was gonna poke w/ a needle though thats where I would go in.

Agreed, try poking it with a needle see what comes out, it's probably some gnarly pus.

Great photo of his Choanal slit btw! Looks good

Maybe Cho is Latin for "opposite of " ?
