Black Spots on Combs

[Orit]

Hello,
4 of my 6 hens have these black spots on their combs. Any idea what they might be? (mites? lice?...) and what I can do to treat? Pictures are attached.
Thanks in advance!

They've been been hen pecked!

I agree

They've been been hen pecked!

or rooster pecked during mating.

Peck spots like the others said.

Mine all have those right now, too! Dissent in the ranks. Don't you just want to clean them and moisturize those lovely combs so that they are the bright red, supple combs of summer?!? I cannot wait for spring!

I agree with the others. I think they are ok.

Oh - thank goodness!!! And all this time I thought they got along grandly . I've only witnessed one of them (the old lady of the flock) peck at the others in her pecking order way. But that's only when someone is crowding her space while she is trying to be the first to get to the food . OK - thanks for all the replies! I'm so glad it's nothing medical. And again, I learn something new!

Normal pecking injuries just
Apply some dash of Veseline or Coconut oil
Oilve oil also works great
