spots on comb

[shfen]

One of our girls has developed some nasty spots and a crusty one on her comb. I know we had this issue with another chicken but to a much lesser degree and it was recommended to put vaseline on her comb which helped. Any suggestions on this case?

This could be fowl pox (although I'm no expert), and chickens will normally recover from this themselves if it isn't too bad. This article:

talks about treating any of the scabs with iodine or Vetericyn.
Hope this helped

It looks like scabs from picking.

You can apply a bit of vaseline or triple antibiotic ointment if you wish.
