Dirty Combs and Wattles

[Bad Wolf]

I have tried to clean my chickens wattles and combs and they won't come clean. I have tried dawn soap and a wash cloth and it doesn't work. They are black and gross looking. Everyone on here that posts pics have nice red combs. I'm wondering how I can get ours to look nice too.

Can you post a picture, please?

I'm going to try and post one that was taken about a month ago. It doesn't look as bad in this pic... it's really dirty now. They roll around in the dirt under the porch. I noticed that when I give them yogurt and don't wash it off their wattles this happens. This pic was taken when he caught his wattle on something and it ripped a little. I brought it to someone to see if it needed to be stitched up.

Not sure, some is dirt. Frost bite? I don't know, maybe someone else will chime in with a better idea.

I have a rooster with a dirty comb as well. It's not frostbite, it's caked on slop (mushy food). How do I get it off?
