Hey all,
My 10 chickens are doing well and seem mostly happy and healthy - they are about 5 months old and I recently got 3 eggs! Anyway, I noticed that my speckled sussex hen, Hot Toddy has black stuff on her comb. From looking at other pictures, it looks like probably scabs. But I wanted other trained eyes to have a look? My australorp Oprah also seemed to have a little black stuff on her comb - but not as bad looking as this. Scabs or should I get some anti fungal stuff? I'm a newby so help is appreciated.
