Hi Folks

The tip of one of my Thuringian bantams tongue has gone black, cannot seem to find a lot about this on the net.

Hi All Has anybody had the misfortune to have come across wet pox in their flock? One of my girls has small yellow lumps in her mouth and a few weeks ago I picked out a yellow mass but didn't at the time give it much thought (just thought it was something she had eaten that was lodged).
