    What comb is this? Shoud I try to breed it out? (Silkies)

    Okay, so as far as I know silkies should have a walnut comb. Mine have weird flat and wavy combs or small and bumpy ones. Currently I'm focused more on color and body type, but I'd like to get a clear idea on what to do with the combs. I'll try to find some photos of my silkies combs. I can...

    Developing comb? Is this chick a rooster?

    This little chick is developing some sort of comb on their head. They are five weeks old. People talk about the comb being pinkish and turning red. Is that what that looks like? Is this likely a roo, or could it still grow up to be a hen?

    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...

    Possible frostbite

    I have a bantam rooster (I'm not sure what breed he is) that may have possibly gotten frostbite this morning. 🙁 His brother that is the same breed had black tips on his comb ever since he was a baby, but this just popped up today. We had a cold morning, under 20°. Is this permanent damage? Or...

    Scabbed up comb

    When my hen started developing little scabs on her comb, I had read that it comes with the cold months. Like a reaction to the high temperature. The thing is that I live in Miami Florida, so there aren’t high temperatures here during winter. There’s only been two nights/mornings of cold weather...

    Frostbite?

    Since it's getting colder here I wanted to rub my girls' combs with Vaseline, when I saw this strange white spot on Phoebe. Does anyone know what this is? I always thought frostbite is darker, thanks!

    Rooster’s head has turned purple from cold

    Hi everyone, I have a bantam rooster who I’m concerned about because his entire face has turned a purple color. The coldest it’s been is in the 20s but it’s obviously affected him quite a bit already. He did get some frostbite last year and the very tips of his comb ended up falling off, but...

    Torn Comb

    Two of my chickens had a altercation that led to one of them in a torn comb. The base of her comb is separated from her head like maybe 3/4s of an inch.

    Does this Cuckoo Marans have a Single comb or ??

    This pullet was guessed to be a Cuckoo Marans in another thread because of her leg coloring. I noticed this morning that her single comb appears to be split at the top. Is this still considered a single comb growth?

    Chicken with kind of floppy comb

    I have a chicken with a kind of floppy comb that is slightly collapsed/folded in the front. I’m trying to figure out if I should be concerned, or if this is normal? All my other chickens combs stick straight up, which is the source of my concern. (Edit: I read online that it could be worms so I...
