roo has purplish on comb pics attached

[onthespot]

This roo used to get it a lot when he was younger, especially when i went into the pen. Then I would notice fifteen minutes later he was pink all over. You can see some of it in this pic. He is two years old and has not had any signs of heart trouble yet.

Be sure to watch them. I had one who died at about a year old. Comb was a bit purple and before I knew it the whole thing was purple and he was dead. Its just something to keep an eye on.

I have had several rooster have this happen with their combs, and I haven't lost one,yet.

I went out to feed one morning and two of my roosters had purplish ends on their combs. I went out a couple of hours later to be sure everyone had water and both of their combs were red again.

I have found no rhyme or reason for this to happen, and they have been different breeds, and ages.

A few years ago, I was worried because I was told that it was probably lack of oxygen due to heart failure. My rooster is still alive and kicking, so unless he is exhibiting any other signs or symptoms, I wouldn't worry about it.

Hope this eases your concerns.
