    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...

    Torn comb, should we separate?

    So I tried to find an answer on the forums, but I can't seem to find a question with my exact issue. One of our little ladies tore part of her comb somehow, not really sure how she did it, most likely on the fencing, but we're almost positive it wasn't any of the other hens, they're ally pretty...

    Tips of roosters comb are going black?

    Our rooster got into a fight with another rooster a couple months ago and has had these scabby marks on his comb, but it seemed like they got better over time. He now still has this on his comb and I have no idea what could be wrong. I assumed maybe it’s still from that fight months ago but it’s...

    Neosporin Safe for Chickens?

    I don't know if this is in the right section (it's not serious which is why I didn't put this in emergencies/diseases). Anyway, is Neosporin safe to use on a chicken's comb? The active ingredients are bactracin, neomycin, and polymycin. I do not see any -caine ingredients. Thanks for the help!
