Can anyone tell me what these are? I have been worried its lymphoid leukosis but I’m not sure it would present this early. I’m new to showgirls but everything I’ve read said they are fairly hardy birds, some sites even say disease resistant (but being a microbiologist not sure I buy into that). I’ve got two showgirls out of this last batch of eggs (bought on eBay) and only one has them. i have 12 other Silkies in the same hatching (from different eBay sellers) who all seem healthy..all 14 seem healthy except for the one with the bumps, but that is all he/she has no other symptoms. However, he/she is more relaxed than the others. He/she actually doesn’t mind sitting on my lap and letting me look at the bumps where the others would be jumping off.
