My sebrights had small black scabs on their points as well. This was due to fighting, frost bite, or getting burnt by the heat lamp.

Ok, I cannot post pics. The spots look sorta like that, but WAYYY smaller. Now I am worried. What do I do?????? This is my first time raising chickens, and I am not happy about this!

Do you need help with posting a photo?
Click on my page
Click on "Click here to edit"
Click on "my uploaded images" or "upload image"
browse your images and double click the one you want
this may take a minute
Under the photo it will say Image, Highlight the whole line.
push Ctrl key and c key at same time
then go to post
hit reply and in the body of the response section Hold the Ctrl key down and also push the "v" key.
It should paste the image location there.
Hit preview see if it's there, if it is hit submit.
I usually open two windows to do this if I post multiple images.
Hopefully this works for you.
If anyone else has a better way please let me know too!!
Oh if you already know this....sorry and please disregard.

They look perfectly healthy!!!!!!! Please stop typing in caps as in gives the impression that you are YELLING. The rooster looks fine and so do the hens. I don't see anything wrong with them whatsoever. My roosters' combs looked likes yours and they will eventually heal. They are probably due to pecking. Next time, calm down! You should know by their behavior if they are sick. i.e. Not eating or drinking, lethargic, huddled in a corner, etc. etc.

As I said before - the longer a hen is laying, some parts of her body get paler! Including the comb.

Ok, thank you all for your help. Sorry for the caps!I also appreciate the list of how to post a picture! As I said b4, I am a new chicken keeper , so I can get nervous.
