    Please help with any suggestions. I’m so worried. My Buff Orpington rooster is 14 weeks old and suddenly developed these black sore spots on his comb. He is extremely lethargic.

    What's on my roo's comb?

    It seems like dried blood, at first I tried to gently pull it off but it started bleeding a little so I let it be, I thought it would heal by itself. He is healthy and active otherwise. Now it's gotten worse, the black spots got bigger and today I noticed a hen pecking at his comb and he...

    Rooster comb issue

    I am not sure what is going on with my Buff's comb. I'm not sure if I need to do something or keep watching at this point. We live in Alabama but it was 23 degrees last night and 32 the night before. I don't know if this could be frostbite or some type of bacteria. He is closed in our coop...

    White spots on comb - is this dangerous?

    One of my faverolles chickens is having these white spots on her comb. They started appearing about two months ago, but only very lightly, and since it didn't seem to affect her behaviour in any way, I have been only observing them to see if it would pass. Over the last weeks there started to be...

    Comb changing colors??

    One of my girls has a comb that changes it's color multiple times a day. It can go from bright red, dull red, and bright and dull orange. It seems very unusual to me, since none of the other hens have this issue. I knew I had to post a forum after watching it turn from a bright red to a pale...

    Is this fowl pox

    Was thinking this is fowl pox. It has been several months since this showed up and is not improving and may actually be a getting worse. The roosters by far are the worse. Very little symptoms on the hens...just a dot here and there. What could this be other than fowl pox? Its not frost bite. We...

    Crusty gray patches on rooster comb

    My little bantam rooster has this crusty, gray, puffy patches on his comb. He’s young, just about finished filling in his feathers. He’s housed with a little hen, but the two of them are isolated from the rest of my birds (because they’re so small). I haven’t found any sign of mites. I don’t...

    Blemishes / Spots on Combs

    Merry (early) Christmas. We're new here to the forum and relatively new to owning chickens as well. For the past 9 months we've had almost no problems at all but recently we've noticed a few spots on some of the girl's combs. We've already poked around in the forums and see we're hardly the...
