One of my hens, I just noticed, has like swirly black on her comb and wattles. Is it just natural coloring and I didn’t notice before? I’m very new at this. I got her and her flock mates as chicks in October. They are all laying now.
I got them from a hatchery. I believe she’s a Sapphire Gem.
She is eating and acting normal. She is the only one in the flock who has black on her comb and wattles. I can’t tell whose poop is whose but I haven’t seen any alarming poop, if that makes sense.
Anybody know what it is?

Sometimes that can be from rubbing on or running into wire fencing. But it might be normal for the breed, which I am not familiar with.
