Discoloration and Spots on Comb and Ear Lobes - Cause for concern?

[duchessofnoodles]

Hi All!

I noticed this morning that my roo and 3 of our 7 girls have some discoloration on their comb/ear lobes. They don't seem to be bothered much by it but I'd be more comfortable if you all took a look to see if I'm just over reacting .

It could just be fine dirt stuck in the folds from a few days of dust bathing mixed with a good smattering of rain they decided to play in this morning. But i got to googling and don't trust myself!

The chickens are all Buff Orrington 5.5 months old. I live in New England and we've had a few nights the in the 20's (f) but the coop is draft free so not sure if frostbite is the culprit. Any advice would be much obliged!

Don't worry about it. I have an ISA Brown hen that got a discolored ear, didn't bother her at all. It went away pretty quickly and she is doing great. She even lays the biggest eggs of my 3 ISA Browns!
