I recently bought a male and female from a breeder..... The day i picked up the birds the lady told me SOME of the birds in her aviary had scaley face, but she had recently treated all the infected birds..... Im not sure if the ones she sold me had scaley face or not..... Im pretty sure the male doesn't have it as he looks fine to me..... However, Im not sure about the hen.... I know a healthy hen can get a crusty looking cere which my hen seems to have.........but im unsure how to tell the difference between a normal crusty cere on a hen , and a hen that has early signs of scaley face...... Ive been looking online to see what birds look like with scaley face and the pics i saw were pretty obvious as the pics were of severe cases......but what about early signs of infection..... Ive attached a picture of my hen.... its not a very good picture but hopefully its okay to determine if shes fine ... If you need a better picture let me know and i will try to get a clearer shot * Also, in the picture of the Hen, theres a little brown spot on her beak, just under the cere* ....Just wondering what that is also.... Im pretty sure the male is fine, but will show a picture of him too Thanks Jason. Edited October 24, 2010 by Jasonwr6000 Link to comment

Hey, from what I can see in the picture the hen looks like she has a normal adult cere. Lots of hens ceres are bumpy looking and not smooth like the cocks. Even so you should research some of the links here to explain how to treat scaly face and look at some images so you will recognise it if it develops. Link to comment
