Spots on Comb

[Txwingnut]

I noticed my White Rock has some hard black spots on her comb. I didnt see them last week when I checked her but today... They dont seem to be bothering her and she isnt acting any different. Im thinking its the heat here in N. Texas but not sure. Any ideas?

I am not sure, but that looks like it could be fowl pox.

Ditto the fowl pox. Looks just like what my roo just got over. It took about 3 weeks for him to pull through, and he has just now got his eye opened back up. This can be dangerous, so we treated with antibiotics, which we rarely EVER do. I didn't want him getting an infection in this heat wave though, so we treated with a mild antibiotic for a couple weeks. You may want to quarantine too, fowl pox is extremely contagious. we are still quarantining ours. They get it from mosquitos, so some mosquito control may be in order as well. Best of luck, and I hope it doesn't get any worse. Our poor boy looked just awful for a week or so.
