Is this normal?

Last week I began noticing some dark spots on my naked-neck Gale's comb. I just wondered what it is. I worried that it's fowl pox but she has no other symptoms.

Sorry for the bad pics haha Gale decided to be a brat and wouldn't hold still

It’s from other chickens picking on her

It could be but she doesn't live with them. She currently lives with my blind hen in their own coop. They only free-range occasionally with the flock so they rarely see eachother. But it's a possibility. Thanks!

Well if she basically lives by herself it can be from when you go to feed her her crown rubs against the fence and that can cause it to

That would make sense. I will move the feeders. Thank you!

Also I am moving a few other chickens in with her so she will not be so lonely. Her living alone with the blind hen was just a temporary situation.

Your welcome hope the transition goes great

Do you see any scabs on her face or wattles? The pictures of the comb are not very clear to tell if it could be pecking or fowl pox scabs from mosquitoes.

The spots are not scabby and do not look look like wounds from pecking. It just looks like bits of her comb turned purple
