Well this morning things happened quickly ..  Had four birds come in and three birds leave...  I have a few questions for yall ? What are all these sores all over his head ?? I have never seen this before...




The sores are even on his body.. Could they be from fighting ???




He has 1 inch spurs and a 10 1/2 inch beard...

Congrats on the bird! Looks like it might be avian pox, but I can't say I've ever seen a case in person so I'm just going off photos I've seen.

defiantly some sort of something going on there, but he did have a big ol' noggin.  Congrats on a great bird.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Congrats on the bird! Those are some odd wounds and my initial though was fighting wounds, but it looks more like a skin disease though.

congrats on a great bird, but could they possobly be scars from shot, like maybe they just bearely broke the skin,not enough energy to kill him, probably not but just a thought.
