I have a white bird that over the last few days has formed a growth on his wing, not shoulder but next joint leading edge. Its about ¾ long and 3/8 wide and skin colour. He quite often knocks it and the growth seems full of blood this then forms a scab on the growth. Apart from the growth he seems very healthy.

try feeding barley and put garlic in the water if it grows bigger tie some strong string round the base of the growth this will cut of the blood supply and the growth will fall off usually caused by to much protien in the diet

agree with shadow,i would tie it now rarther than later has it will definatly grow bigger and the root will get longer.
leave it,, it will fall off soon,, give them less peas and put some other grains in the hopper for a while.. too much protein,, we have one here now,, just dropped off its wing this week..
what happens is some of the birds will only eat certain seeds,, this bird must like peas and beans ,,lol..
don't worry it will fall off soon.. ours had it for about 4 weeks,, normal now..
Young uns are doing well, they have been doing an hour twice a day for 2 weeks now. Did 3 miles then 5 then 10 next week its back to 10 but release 2 at a time. Then its 20 miles every other day. That dark cheq pied hen is looking to be a very nice bird... Thanks for the bargain...
