    Fowlpox or something else? New waterer?

    Hi, all! Today I noticed my barred rock had a weird wart looking thing on her wattle. My husband and I set her down to get a phone to take a picture and within a few minutes the dark scab had already fallen or been pecked off. I attached a photo of what it looks like. We put some iodine on it...

    Head shakes on Bresse roosters

    Hi all, This spring we hatched Wyandotte and Bresse eggs. We noticed a few weeks ago that the Bresse roosters ONLY (not the Bresse hens or any of the Wyandottes) were doing this strange head shake. Our experience with chickens is limited to Wyandottes, who have very compact combs, and since...

    I’m puzzled…

    So, I got some chicks from a friend and she would only tell me that they were a barnyard mix of blue/green and brown layers. I also purchased 2 Barred Rock pullets the same weekend. I have my guesses after watching them quite often and doing lots of research, but can someone tell me what kind of...

    Roosters Comb

    I got a new rooster and still have him in quarantine…what’s up with his comb? It’s not raised, so I’m thinking not fowl pox. Fighting injuries maybe?

    What’s on my roosters’ combs??

    My roosters have black spots on their combs, and now they have some white. They’ve been vaccinated. Could it be from mites? Or fungus? Some of the black spots will scratch off, but the roo did not like me messing with them. Any suggestions on doctoring, care, and prevention? Thanks, friends!

    Ripped comb…

    I can’t say for sure… but I think my roo may have ripped my girl’s comb. We currently have her separated and spraying vetericyn on it. We tried to do supervised time outside with the others and the other hens are fine around her, but my roo goes right to attack this spot, so we immediately...

    Hen’s comb huge and floppy- impairing vision- acting odd

    My five year old White-cheeked black Spanish has a very large, floppy comb. When she was younger it got a scab on the side, and healed flopped over so it is permanently draped over her face. I have looked at dubbing but it seems to be only for much younger birds? She has a tendency to sit down...

    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.

    Weird black spots on hens comb

    My 8 month old hen recently developed wierd black spots on her comb. Does anyone know what it is? It does remind me of when my rooster’s comb was all beaten up and had black scabs, but those were bigger and more in clumps. The pictures are of both side.
