Black spot on chickens comb

[Ilovechickens119]

Hello all

I have a lovely Bantam named blueberry and she has a few tiny black spots on her comb. She is fine in herself and eating and drinking as usual. Could someone tell me what these spots mean? I will attach a picture.

Thanks

when did you notice this because my chickens get frost bite on their combs in the winter. it should go away soon so no worry's! (we put Vaseline as a preventative)

Or it could be a pecking injury but that will up in no time

More than likely it's a scab from being pecked at. The end of the comb is a prime picking spot.
Could be a Fowl Pox scab too.

Either way, I would leave them alone. She's eating/drinking/active.
A pecking scab will heal up on it's own and Fowl Pox generally resolves on it's own in several weeks.

Well a black spot came a few months ago and then went and then a couple of days ago this one came. She’s fine in herself so I’m sure it’ll clear up on its own.

Thank you so much

Ok, thanks so much, I’ll leave it alone.

Yes, I did wonder that.

Thanks
