    Gray spots on comb?

    It seems to be resolving in my flock without my having done anything to address it. A couple of my other chickens also had spots, but they're all eating and laying as normal and don't seem bothered by it. I'm keeping an eye on it, but so far, so good... Funny that we have to call it "fowl pox"...

    Gray spots on comb?

    Thank you, Lemontea! That's a possibility that I will watch closely. It has been hot here, and there are tons of mosquitoes, of course. LOL, Robert! No roosters in my flock, so I don't think it's that...

    Well, he certainly looks like he'd know a pullet from a cockerel! Thanks, Stan!

    Coming out of lurkdom with a hello and a question

    Thanks! I gather from that there's no appreciable difference in the two types, then: Each hatchery has its own brew. We'll see how they do when it comes to egg laying. I'm pleased with the personalities so far as all are pretty friendly toward humans and other birds.

    Coming out of lurkdom with a hello and a question

    Hi everyone. I've been lurking at this site for the past couple of months -- lots of great info for a newbie chicken owner. We started our flock of seven hens (we hope) in late March. We have four reds from a TSC "red pullet" bin and three Australorps from another place. The reds are nine...
