Rhode Island Red growing like a weed. 3.5 weeks now. Good natured. No issues but noticed this little bump. It's hard, located under bottom beak like where wattle would grow and on one side, her left, only. Does not ooze, although I touched, bot squeezed. Could not be dry Fowl Pox from what I've read. These chicks are in an inside brooder from day 1 of purchase and not exposed to any outdoor bugs or other birds or even weather yet. Let me know what you think and I'll go from there! I seem to have a ton of questions about growing these chicks, so glad I can rely on BYC members!
