Thoughts on this bird...

[LET EM GROW]

Is this Blackhead disease? Most certain this bird is always solo, and the flock knows there is something wrong with him? Guessing hes a young jake on his own now.. And from what Ive gathered, he needs to be harvested asap. For the health of the local flock?

It is, I think found more often in Tame birds but is a real thing in Wild birds as well. I have seen a few pics this year of birds with it across the state..

Wow, I would imagine it just gets worse as these birds age/grow? The rifle might come out for some "woodchucks" this weekend lol

I have used garlic in drinking water to treat chickens with great results.
