Pox?? Black spots on combs

You have too many roosters. Those are all scabs most likely from fighting. I would suggest getting rid of all your roosters except for one since this can be a BIG problem for your hen. Your hen isn't molting shes suffering the effects of 'over-mating' Which can turn deadly. I had a friend who had just started raising chickens and had one too many roosters and because of this one of his hens had a completely bare back/wings and a huge gash on the side of her back from the roosters taring up her back. It later got infected and had to be put down. The reason why I am being straight forward is because I want to prevent any stressful situations later in the future so like i said.. I'd get rid of at least 3 of the roosters.
I need to get rid of my ameraucana rooster! He's too aggressive, but he did sire 9 chicks also Ameraucanas.
He never bothers me, but he is a pain in the tail feathers to all the hens, and the people I allow to live on my property. Here in Poplar CA. most roosters end up as fighting birds or in the stew pot. I believe he deserves better than that! I do have another roo. He is a black white crested polish, and never bothers anyone, so he doesn't count. signed, SAD Chicken Daddy!
