spots on roosters comb

[kens147]

i gave my nice a rooster for her kids last summer she call today and said he has black spots on his comb i think frost bite what do you think

seems a little early for frost bite, how cold is it there? if there are any other roosters , or hens some one maybe pecking at the comb and the spots could be blood. If so they will heal

I doubt it'd be frostbite, unless it is actually freezing or below freezing over there. I think it could b something as minor as a speck of dirt or a peck mark. If they are raised, however, there is a chance you have Fowl Pox on your hands.

Fowl pox, I just learned about it this month. All five of my pullets got it, but it went away within 2 weeks, and it won't come back after. As long as it's not in the mouth or eyes, it's fine. (And it's caused by mosquitoes)
