Hi, we are pretty new to chickens and our pullets are almost 14 weeks old 😄. This is Betty White and she seems to have a scab on her crow. I’ve been watching the girls (we have 6 hens) and no one seems to be messing with her, I’m thankful for that! But I wasn’t sure what I should do to treat it? Thanks for any advice!

Yes, that is a scab on her comb.
If no other chickens are bothering her, you do not need to treat it at all.

If other chickens do peck at her comb, you might need to put something on the spot (like blu kote, which disguises the red color), or you might need to separate her for a few days while it heals. But I would not do either of those things unless you see problems.

Comb injuries typically heal quickly.
