    Help…marks on chickens comb

    Hi, I’ve recently seen some black dots on my chicken. I’ve attached the images below. Is it fowl pox or are they pecking at eachother? Should I be concerned? They aren’t showing any behavior of being sick, but it started small and is spreading. Also another chicken has one as well, but smaller

    duckling hatch hiccup.

    I have a duckling hatching, and she should be all the way out of the egg but she's still attached to the last piece of the shell... is this normal? Should I just leave it alone? Can/should I try to take it off? (p.s. She has been like this since around 2:30.)
