    Is this a normal comb?

    Just noticed one of my RIR’s comb looking strange. She seems to have some dark spots on her comb which weren’t there previously. They do look a little bit darker and more defined in person. Any idea what this could be? Or am I totally overthinking it and it’s completely normal 😂

    What gender are these silkies, and this buff Orpington? This buff has a larger comb and waddles than the other two that came with him. About 16 weeks old (all of them).

    Breeds? Sexes? Help! Lol

    Hey all, we just purchased 3 older chicks to our flock. I believe they are all around the 4-5 week mark. We purchased the red/brown one with patterned feathers hoping that he is a cockerel, and the black and buff ones might be pullets — though the slight red waddles on that black one have me...

    9 MONTHS Old Still Not Laying???

    I have a few pullets, most of them nearly 9 months of age. Some of them have large dark red combs and wattles. My blue Australorp, my welsummer pullets and Gold Laced Barnavelder have nice combs. When will they still start laying? Please see images below.

    Is this comb normal?

    I hope this is the right place to post this! So, two of my EE chicks have this different looking comb compared to the others. Most of the chicks have pea combs but some are singles. Both of the chicks with this odd looking comb have small crests, but none of the others do. I got a picture of...

    When are pullets combs supposed to get their color?

    I have three 11 week old pullets. 1 black Australorp and 2 barred rocks. They have pretty short combs and they aren’t really red but more on the light pink side. They also look kind of dry. This is my first time having chickens so I just want to make sure they are alright.

    6 week partridge plymouth rock gender??

    This is a partridge plymouth rock at approximately 6 weeks. I’ve had horrible luck with chicks turning into roos and the fact that this one has a comb starting freaks me out. However, it’s mostly yellow and I don’t really see any wattles forming yet so those seem like good signs. What’s your...

    When do combs turn pink/red? Dominique

    I have two 4 week old dominiques. They were sold to me as female, and all the signs have pointed to them being female (shadowing on legs and feet, getting feathers quickly, uniform spot on head). I have noticed that one of them has a comb that is slightly bigger and getting more red than her...

    Black spots on combs; frostbite, fowl pox or are they pecking each other

    There are a lot of post on here with the same issue for the last month. I read so many of them to try to find an answer for my girls. Honestly, I'm still not certain what it was. The temperature dropped to the 20's and 30's. A lot of black spots appeared on Zena. Then Lily had four or five of...

    Massive Comb!!!!

    Anyone else had a cockerel with the biggest comb ever? This is our boy Foghorn Leghorn. We hatched him last year he’s about 7 months old. We have had hens for over 20 years and in that time we have NEVER seen a cockerel with such a big comb and wattles. Competition time? 😂

    Sick Chicken

    I think I have a sick chicken or she’s super stressed. She’s been a bit bullied and today I had to pull her from the coop because her comb was bleeding (someone took a small piece of it) and her comb is more pink than red which I had just assumed was weather related but now I have her in my...

    Black and white spots on chicken comb

    :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...
