My bresse hens have always had floppy combs but lately I'm noticing dark spots on some of them. One even have a chunk missing? What could.be causing this.

They are bit on the paler side however I treated them for coccidiosis 2 weeks ago. They have slowly been turning redder since.

Should I be concerned on how the combs are looking? They are acting normal.

Thanks

Combs usually get paler right around when they start to molt and it’s that time of year. As for the spots and missing part those look like peck wounds.
