   I have never had a sick chicken so I don't even know where to begin. I noticed about two days ago a couple of black spots on her comb, now it has taken over Her whole comb and one eye and ear it seems.
   
   Help???

   It may very well be a fowl pox infection. It's a virus which will eventually run its course. Antibiotics are not needed unless she develops a secondary bacterial infection. It is spread by mosquitoes, and your other hens may be bitten and infected by them. Do an on site search on 'fowl pox' for more information.
