hmmm...the combs you say? one of the birds has a big crusty yellow scab thing on the skin over his eye, but i thought that was from pecking? (my cream crested legbar cock really hates him, and they try and fight through the wire) could it be scaly...face?

Thanks for the help guys. I tried both of the salves (always try the easier option first) and I'm pretty sure vaseline worked the best. As far as I can tell, pretty much all of the scales have fallen off now. One more thing though...how long should I go on treating after recovery? I don't want...
