her comb is nasty...

[TreyClark281]

my chicken's comb is very faded and it has some bloody spots on it. and some open wounds... i guess that the other chicken was pecking at it... but any ideas of what i could do to make its comb brighter and fix those wounds??

and so is her beak..

Might try some Vitimins & Electorlites in thier water. Could be that the heat is causing them to eat as much, thus getting a lower amount of needed nutrients.

Just a though,

Is her beak split too?
I think your other birds are pecking at her comb, but it looks like part of it's been eaten too...
You could also spray BlueKote or WoundKote on it, so it doesn't look so appetizing.
Is she still laying or on hiatus? Obelisk's comb and face are pale right now because she's starting to moult.

i dont think her beak is split but ill try all the things ya said. and i dont ever see them pecking at her but it could of been the other chickens at the feed store...
and she layed me 1 egg so far but none after that one....
i got her a couple of weeks ago but she is laying i baught her fully growen.
oh and what could i feed her to get the vitamins she needs.

You could give her extra protein and some oystershell calcium. You could also try putting Apple Cider Vinegar in her water.
