Mostly, chicken ears just look like wrinkled skin. Poor Blue's look like he's got HUGE pierced plugs. I'll spare everyone a pick because its disgusting. *shudder*. I had no idea chickens could even get ear infections, though I suppose anything with an ear can get an infection.
Doodle had been chasing Blue around last month. He may have caught him, nipped him and transferred an infection. We hadn't found anything but a few scratches on Blue, which could have come from anything, so we never were sure. We finally had to put up a dog fence so Doodle cannot get to Blue, the hens still jump over the fence whenever they want and come up to the porch to beg. Blue obviously does not.
