He has no respiratory issues, 5 months old, eating and drinking fine, no one else in the flock has this including the other rooster. it hasn't gotten bigger from us noticing it a few days...

    Injury in the corner of comb — please help!

    My beloved chicken, Nuggie, has a cut right between her head and her comb. It’s not bleeding anymore but has made a little sticky mess on her. She doesn’t seem to act any differently or even care! I suspect it to be from a rooster, as there are no other areas where it could have happened. No one...

    Roo with infection on his comb :(

    We just noticed this nastiness on our poor Sages comb :( he’s acting like his usual spry self but although we’ve been raising birds for a little over a year they’ve all been happy and healthy so far so we’re new to the sickness in birds part. Him and the girls have their own big room in the barn...

    Weird top feathers

    Soooo I’m back with my weird chickens! Can y’all tell if this is pecking or a skin disease? I’ve been watching for pecking behaviors from another chicken but they must secretly be ninjas. I can I deter pecking when I’m not around/at work?

    Comb Amputation Aftercare

    Hello! My australorp tore a good chunk of her comb off today while I was at work. I think she tore it on part of the pen fencing, but I will check when it is daylight tomorrow for blood and/or damage. The comb chunk was barely hanging on, so I sterilized all my equipment, cleaned her head/wound...

    Expectations on fully grown bird w/ no comb

    Happy New Year. Our Bielefelders are beyond 30 weeks. One had scrapped her head as a chick and had a scab form at the beak and forehead area. As a result, no comb was developed. She does have a very small waddle. She is also smaller in size and weight than her siblings. My questions are: 1...

    Frost bitten rooster

    I’m sorry this is probably a common problem among northern chickens but my rooster has a blister on the top part of his comb and the entire comb is looking quite pale. We had a night that reached 3F the other day and last night maxed out around 10F. I’m assuming it’s the start of frostbite. What...

    Is something wrong or do I have a rooster?

    These 2 hens are the same age and as far as I know same hatch, they came from a local Chicken hatchery bought at 5mo of age aprx 8mo old now. The comb and wattles are completely different. Do I have a rooster? Could something be wrong? Or is this a common thing?

    What is the term for this comb trait, and how does it happen?

    I hope I am posting this in the right category, but I could not find another one more appropriate. I have one cockerel with a comb that I don't think it should have and I haven't found a way to describe it to google to figure out what is going on. It is a straight comb but with no defining...

    Comb Sickness?

    I've noticed my rooster this past summer has had a scab like patch on his comb. I originally thought it would heal and go away, but it's been a few months now and no sign of healing. It occasionally bleeds and sometimes looks like it has a white pus like fluid. I've sprayed it with vetricin and...

    Hen has hard white lumps on comb, for several months and now a new one has grown

    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...

    Raven’s comb covers his nostrils.

    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?

    What breed is this snuggly cutie?

    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...

    Sick hens

    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...

    Mysterious black dot on comb of one of my Rhode Island Reds

    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...
