I see, well if the black is no more spreading on your hen comb or others ones I guess it's a good news!
For me those dark combs are very strange yeah, not even sure if its a real disease.. As you said it can be a environnemental problem, or maybe too much unhealthy food..
All I know its that...
This Dark comb look pretty similar to the combs of my hens.
Especially the darker one. The 3 first weeks she had a normal red comb and then it start to be weird-dark.
Now the comb is 85% black with those tiny spots and my others have the same black thing slowly growing up on their combs too. =x...
Thanks for the welcome ! 😀

Great to see such an active forum !

Hello,
I'm from France (Burgundy, some nice wines here) and I got 4 hens since 2 month now.
I'm a newby in the poultry world but I try to do the best for them.
Built a nice place in a old barn and I cook every days for them, so they dont have very easy tastes now. ;)
I register here because...
Hi,
I got a 6 month chicken with a weird comb since 45 days now.. I was not woring at first, It was just a small weird thing.
But now I think it's a real disease cause all my hens got those dry tiny spots on their combs, at different stages.
And I guess all of them may finish with a black comb...
