Black on comb

[KatH2580]

Both my Brahma cockerels are showing small amounts of black on their combs, any ideas in what I should do? First time chicken mum! Otherwise seem healthy

It doesn't look like Fowl Pox to me, I think it could be dirt or maybe someone was pecking at them causing a little bleeding and then it drying up.

My hens usually have some little black specks on their combs like that too, they’re most likely just tiny scabs. Probably just a little spot from getting pecked or scratched on something. If their comb starts getting spreading black areas on the tips and edges, you want to keep an eye on that, it could be frostbite or a sickness or infection. But your hen looks fine just make sure you don’t pick the scab off or it can start bleeding again.
