Roosters with black spots on combs that seem to move and change shape

[Ded Rooster]

These spots behave as if they are colonies of microscopic bugs. They look like groups of poppy seeds. Are they some kind of insect or is this something the combs do on their own?

 

[PunkinPeep]

I've heard of a type of fungus that sometimes shows up on combs. Can you provide us with an up-close picture?

Got a picture? Sometimes you get cuts and bruising that looks like black spots.

I'm not sure ,but I think this fungus is called flavus. Gail Damerows book called chicken disease's has an article on this condition. You might want to purchase this informative book or try looking up on google for her web sight. good luck rockmasters momma
