Neighbor posted this morning of lost, wandering chicken. Rushed over and it is now contained in my backyard away from my flock. Has been given electrolytes and chick food/grit. Also ate some birdseed while coaxing into carrier. Noticed black spots on comb. No one has responded to claim ownership...
Just noticed these black spots on my hen’s comb. It’s cold where I live but hasn’t been below 10 degrees and is usually in the lows about 25 degrees, highs in the 40-50. She seems to be acting fine other then I’m worried she’s discovered to eat her own eggs. (Found a broken egg with the shell...
Hey everyone. Need help again, as a couple of my girls have begun developing these black spots on their combs, one of them now has her eye swollen shut. I thought they were potentially peck marks as they went through a little phase of establishing order. But they seem to have gotten worse or be...
Hello,
So I had been trying to get a closer look at my roosters legs because there were red spots going up the back of his shanks. I have only had chickens for about 6 weeks and these were a family member who needed to re-home because of moving. They are a year old at the end of the month. There...

:frowHi there,
My gorgeous hen Rocky has some black and whitish spots on her comb.
I thought it was dirt at first, but I tried to wipe it off with my finger and it seems like it's stuck on there.
I also checked out some other articles like this, and they said it might be pecking scabs, but I'm...

I first noticed tiny black spots on my exchequer leghorn’s comb about a month ago, but didn’t think much of it because they’re acting normal otherwise. When I looked closely today, I noticed the spots have spread a little and the rooster has them too (photos attached). I’m really hoping...
My 4 month old Buff orphington pullet has these black spots on her comb. I’ve searched this forum and google but am not clear on what this is and would like informed opinions. These chickens are well cared for. Just popped up recently. Have 3 pullets total and “Dixie” is the only one with this...
Hi everybody. I was cleaning my coop today and noticed these black spots on my Roos head. I’ve seen them in my old Roo too. Anyone know what they are? Many thanks!
Hello there, my family and I have had chickens for many years. In the past year, as our flock has increased, a few of our chickens have gotten pox. They all got better on their own. About 10 days ago our rooster’s eye began to puss. Now it has swollen shut and is crusty and still pussing. He has...
does anybody know what this is on my little guy? It just suddenly appeared. If you know what it is is it treatable?
He is the only rooster, he is a bantam and there are 8 hens. It is Summer here so not frostbite...
Thanks in advance!
