[Hambone]

I have noticed from the search that we need a lot more pics of roosters or hens with scared/ scabbed up combs. There are not enough pics of this to tell weather roosters/hens are wounded from fighting/pecking or if they have pox. Please post your pics. Thanks.

These are a few available with the SEARCH function (there are more). It is a good idea to save all pics/threads that are of high quality, to your own machine (folks break their image links quite a bit).
