My 10 months old hybrid got a brown comb like in the picture. She lay am egg and roam around normally like my other hen. Also, she lost her feather around the chest are (The part where the pointy bone around the chest is). So I just wondering, is she molting or sick. ;( Ps. I live in a hot...

Hello fellow chicken lovers! My gorgeous faverolles hen has had several hard white lumps on one of her comb points for quite a long time now. They've gotten slightly larger since they appeared last year (she's 4) but not changed much. In the last few weeks, another has started forming at the...

I’ve noticed my 6 1/2 month old silkie boys comb is growing over his nostrils. Is it possible for his comb to completely cover his nostrils and obstruct his breathing?

The person I got her/him from only said bantam. They also said 6-8 weeks and no way it was a roo. They sent me a video before we got it with no comb at all but when it came home it had a pretty obvious comb. So I’m sure it’s a rooster but can y’all confirm? what breed do you think this is? It...

I have two Easter Eggers and noticed that one has a more pronounced comb than the other. She/he has always been bigger than the other, despite being the same age. I have attached a pic of both. thoughts??

Hey everyone! This week has been incredibly hard. I had a hen (1 year) pass away suddenly on Sunday and found another hen (6 months) dying in the coop this morning. Both had previously seemed okay. The first one had a slightly pale comb. I’m at a loss. I took Ginger (pictured below) to the vet...

Can anyone tell me if this is disease or injury? I've red about fowl pox but I feel like it looks more like a scab from others pecking. She is about 15 weeks old and lives with 7 other ladies around the same age. The dot has grown in the past couple of days but not very much. Started as just a...

Hi there. I posted a few months back about The Tale of the Shrunken Comb (See Previous Post) and now I have an update to that story...The Tale of the Floppy Comb. My poor Dolly’s comb did in fact come back to full glory in June, but now in August her comb has completely flopped over. Still...

Hey! I am new with chickens, so do you know what’s going on? I came to let our chickens out for the day, one of them wouldn’t come out of their nesting area. She couldnt stand, how hard she tried. Her comb was floppy but still a healthy colour. We separated her from the group and made her as...

Hi All! I realize that several people have had experiences in the past with chickens that have developed odd lumps and bumps on their faces with no apparent cause. However, I thought I would share these pictures in case someone can now identify what's wrong with my hen. Researching it proved to...

One of my roosters have been getting picked on by another chicken which we are getting rid of and has some dry blood on his comb. Is there a good way for it to heal faster? I heard Vaseline helps. Also is there a way to get the blood off? I’ve tried with water but it didn’t go to well. Will it...

Today I let my hen out and I notice that their comb and wattle look redder! But when they are back in their coop it look pale.

Hey! today I’ve seen that my silkie hen has a swollen comb, she’s acting normal - eating and drinking. Everyone appears normal. it’s winter here in Melbourne, been cold but they got a warm house that they use. Let me know your thoughts. going to put a round of pestcene powder in the coop.

Hi there everyone, i have noticed for a while one of my hens comb and wattles seems to be turning black which has me a little worried as i would have thought it should be a bright red, besides that she is completely healthy (normal laying, active, good appetite) I have tried looking up what it...

I noticed today that my Cochins comb is torn. It looks scabbed and crusty. Any advice on how to treat? Or just let it be? There was some blood spatter in their coop yesterday but there was no explanation for it, did not notice the torn comb yesterday but wondering if that is where the blood...

Hi! This is my first post here, and also my first time raising chicks! One hen that we got has developed a much, much larger comb and wattles than the other four hens we have. I just want to ensure that this chicken is actually a hen, because I am not able to have a rooster within the city...

We got chickens originally because we wanted to have fresh eggs. We gambled on straight run for our first 6. Ended up with 2 cornish x which were labeled as something totally different and 4 barred rock. 5 out of the 6 chicks are boys and the pullet is a cornish x! 😭 So we went to get pullets...

This is Freckles! I’m not sure if Freckles is a he or a she. I’ve been saying “she” but I noticed today that she is missing her comb and her wattles are starting to grow in but all the other chicks have their combs and I haven’t noticed any wattles. I guess I have two questions. 1) Is it normal...

Hey y’all, not sure what age these ladies are... when will their combs & waddles come in/redden? if anyone has any general estimates on age that’s welcome too?

My chicky Bobby (presumably female) has the most unusual looking comb. In all the research I've done I haven't come across one like her's. What will it form into?
