    Anything like this and if so what is it? Skin growths in a line down from the greater caruncles (wattles) down to where I removed the beard. One of them has a protrusion that has little hairs sticking out of the end. Places of future beard growth? Resized_20220521_183735_878154188895686.jpeg

    Yes. I have seen it and as matter of fact, I also have one to mount this summer that has this. I was told by a very good source that these mini carunckles are locations where there would've been multiple beard growth. That bird would've been bearded to the max if he lived longer.
