One of my hens has a droopy comb with scab like marks on it that have been there as long as I have had her. I received this chicken along with my two other laying hens on 12/22/17. She shows no signs of discomfort and acts/seems very healthy! In Fact she is the more dominant bird of the three and takes no BS from the other chickens. I honestly have never really thought anything of negative of her comb - I have been aware, monitored it and made sure it has not gotten worse, which it has not.
I recently read up on possible causes/diagnosis behind these markings and many of the responses left me with concern!
Is there anyone on here who has had the same or similar issue with their chicken/s? Or have an idea of what this may be!
Should I be concerned about this? Is she suffering?
What can I do to heal this (If Needed)
Are there ways to prevent this from happening in the future?
Any and all responses would be GREATLY appreciated! I am new to chickens so everyday is a learning process. I just recently learned how to deal with a lice infestation..... EEk
Thank you! And Good Luck to you and your flocks =)
