Bumps on Comb

[roxsam]

I just noticed these black/blue and some white bumps/spots on my roo's comb and wattle. Then I checked the ladies and a couple of them have some too. They are all acting fine. What are these? Should I be concerned?

Thanks.

I'm not sure what they are. I've had similar bumps show up on my roosters. I dab them with Blu-kote, and they clear up.

Not sure but they look like the beginnings of fowl pox. I just found this article on it... https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/avian-pox-how-to-treat-your-chickens-for-avian-pox You should do a search on that to find more info.

Thanks. It does kind of look like the avian pox (why isn't it called chicken pox?

). There is much info on treating it though. I will Google and ask some friends and feed stores what they know about it. I wonder if the eggs are still ok to eat?
