Black spots on comb/white spot on ear lobe

[NewChickenmama06]

I noticed this yesterday and it was only one spot. Then today I noticed there are more. I'm posting pictures so if anyone has any ideas about what this is would be appreciated. He's going to be in a 4H show in 3 weeks.

Did the white "spots" move?

I noticed similar black marks on Combs weeks before I realized I had chickens with mites.
They can be very cleverly hidden.

No, he only has the one white spot on his ear lobe. The black spots are smooth as far as I can tell.

Does the white spot wash off?

The black on the comb looks like a scab, probably someone picked at him.

I agree that the black spots are most likely peck marks. A close up shot of the white spot would help. It may just be an unusual coloration of the earlobe, or it may be the start of favus. Do an on site search on 'favus' to see if that is a possibility.

No, I wet my finger and gently rubbed it and it wouldn't come off. He is acting normal, eating, drinking and very active.

I will try to get a better picture and post it. I will look favus up to see what it is as well.

Oh no I noticed a new weird shaped spot on his waddle this morning. Attaching pictures! HELP!

The spot on his wattle looks like an injury as well, hens peck at wattles and combs (a rooster will let them). Wire can cut wattles too.

The white spot looks like it could be from an old injury and is healing up. You could put a dab of anti-fungal cream or coconut oil on it, won't hurt.

I don't know much of anything about showing, but if you are trying to get him ready for a show, then probably caging him separately from the hens and putting him somewhere that he's not getting any scrapes may help?

Ok, thank you so much. I really worry about him, he's had so many things wrong with him since he was a little tiny ball of fluff that the littlest things freak me out . So grateful for my BYC flock! You all have been with me with this little guy through it all!!
