Hi! Im new here. We have 9 chickies, 7 of whom are definitely hens, now laying eggs.
Two of them are Ameracaunas, raised from chicks. One, Lucy, has a very low pea comb and just layed her first egg today! The other, Primrose (Everdeen) started growing a comb about 6-8 weeks ago, it stayed low...
Had anyone had experience with Rural King silkies? All of mine seem to have different combs. Idk what could be in the mix there? Do you think it might be male or female ? I'll keep posting pics of the others as I get time, and service, lol! Thanks in advance!
Oh he's 4 weeks old (almost)

Yesterday, a neighbors cat was stalking our backyard chicken coop and made the chickens go bazzerg! Our Black Australorp, Iris, who is only 5.5 months old and not laying yet had cut/caught her...
Hi I'm a little worried about my rooster's comb
I believe he was pecked and he has an open wound between the top spurs. At first, I noticed it was dirty with black dirt but now I notice that it has puss. I'm worried that it may have infected my other chickens because now I notice their combs...

Hi Everyone,
Is there a way you can tell a female or male from the Combs?
These are Black Australorp chick that are 24 days old today and I have noticed a difference between them both.
One has a darker looking comb.
The other is extremely pink.
Note: No need to worry I won't be...
Hi - I've noticed that some of my Ayam Cemani chicks have a gap in their comb. Fully black, oyster tongue, from good quality stock. There are no side sprigs. I haven't been able to find anything about this. Does anyone know what causes it? And is this 8-week old a pullet or a cockerel? Thanks!
Hello,
Thank you all for taking the time to look at this post! I am brand new to the chicken world, and having trouble determining the gender of this little one.
Its a blue old English Bantam, 9 weeks old and is the only chick in my young flock with red comb and wattles. What do you think?
I have a healthy leg horn for a few years now. She has always had a floppy comb. But all of a sudden, her comb turned pale and now completely blocks her eye site on one side. Her disposition has changed and has become much more skittish and now tilts her head to the side. Is there a remedy to...
Dear all,
My serama/bantam chicken is 2 years old now. Its been more than 6 months he’s suffering yellow and white spots on his comb. Day by day, it gets harder and spots are increasing.
Sent to the vet, but the doctor said those are dandruff. I doubt that.
I’ve tried applying herb medicine...
My hen has a very swollen comb. We also have a case of scaley mites in our coop, so I thought that was the issue and have been treating it as so, but the swelling has not gone down now for a few days. Could it be a sting? I'm worried it's something more serious - she has been acting normal...
I have a 5 mo. old Leghorn that was a victim of an over zealous rooster that got rehomed yesterday. :hit I've been putting antibiotic ointment on it for a couple weeks. When I first noticed it there was just a couple little nicks in it but I'm of the pro-active type and wanted to head infection...
Hello,
We got 10 SLW chicks this spring, and my brother and I will be showing some at our county fair this summer. Here's the scoop: Some of them have rose combs, and some have small single combs. Are the ones with single combs showable? Thanks!
Hello Everyone,
On June 7, 2018 my Blue Andalusian laid her first egg. It was oddly long, but roughly the size of a normal store bought egg. Ever since she laid her first egg, her egg size has been decreasing. I don’t know what a “normal” size egg is supposed to look like, being new to raising...
This is not an emergency, but I have a hen with no comb left. My question is will it grow back? If not, how can I help it? Story: I found my hen hiding under a ramp and thought it was just dying. But then discovered it wasn't dying so I shoo'd it out back into the yard and one of the other...
Just noticed some black spots on my 12 week old blue Wyandottes (?) comb. They weren’t always there! Is it just the coloring of her comb or something wrong?!
Everyone will probably be very frustrated with me, as I have NO CLUE as who the dad of this chick is. The mom is an unknown breed from TSC that BYC and myself couldn't figure out either.
This is the mother who sadly passed away.
Anyway back to my question, what kind of comb is that supposed...
