Need help
What is this black stuff on my chickens comb. Was on one hen yesterday now on two today not sure if it was from the four roosters in there picking on her so I put them out.

You really need to post a picture, or a better description. There are a couple of things it could be. What does the black stuff look like? Are they large, small, scabby looking, or do they look like BB sized specks?? Does it cover the entire comb, or is it spotty?? Have you tried to rub it off? ...stan

Hi stan!

How's those cubalayas?

I'm enjoying them Patty! Not the layers I was told they were though. Small and few, not medium and regular. It may be the season, they are supposed to be better layers in the winter, but really liking the looks and personality!!

I'm in Central Florida (Bunnell, Daytona North Subdivision, also called the Mondex), I have mostly mixed breed, though I did just get 11 chicks a few weeks ago. I was told they are a Bantam, Aracana, and Rhode Island Reds. Will post pictures when I actually remember to take my camera out there with me! I have one all white rooster (no idea on breed), one mostly gold with black tailfeathers hen, and one RIR hen. (At least we were told she is RIR...) We have a large coop and are going to be building a "nesting shed" as a friend of mine calls it. we also have a pen inside the main coop for keeping moms/chicks separated from the flock until big enough not to get picked on. Chickens are just so fun, and its great to get the eggs. My two boys go get the eggs and race to see who gets to bring them back to the house.

I am selling them straight run. I am not sure, honestly, i couldnt twll my other BBS ameruacanas until they where 3-4 months.

I want some silkie Ameruacanas, but don't want to take the chance on straight run right now because I can't really keep a rooster here.I'd end up having to give them up.
