Hello
We recently gained a cockerel after a neighbour found him on a dog walk.
We separated the cock from chickens before introducing him overnight after a week of them being separated by a netting so they could see each other but not get to.
The day after introducing them, the cock had black specks all over his comb. This couldn’t be disease already could it? Or is it more likely from pecking? I wiped it down and it did seem like blood.
Not sure what to do now. Any advice appreciated.
