They appear to be the same spots my boys get from time to time. Nothing to worry about. There is a fungus known as favus but those would be powdery. If they don't wipe off then its is not the fungus. There is one I just had a friend go through, Sonoran is the one who figured it out, a spongy mass covering most of the comb that turned out to be a mite problem.

On the 1s that appear to black to me some one told me they are blue! Are they blue or black?Here is a youtube video of them laying on their 1st day outside.

Thank you, Robin. I'll just keep an eye on it.

parasite fungus called Trichophyton Gallinae (Favus) it can be transmitted to humans. Make sure you wear gloves when handling sick fowl.I myself would treat with antifungal creams. Lamisil is one of the drugs suggested for use in the treatment of Favus in humans.

Could someone please tell me what color this boy is? He's almost 12 weeks old, he hatched out of an egg from CJ's Silkies, and I'm 99% sure it was a Partridge egg.









I'm pretty sure it's a boy anyway..

Cute video! I've been trying to figure out a safe way to take my three week old ones out side to play. I can't help you on the color. I have the same problem!

It's real easy to take the babies outside.Make sure you have a enclosed space outside so nothing can attack them from above & around the enclosed area and grab a chair and sit down and relax out there with them.
