They’re barely visible but i was thinking maybe fowl pox? one of my roosters got it but he passed away and the others showed no signs of it months later. one of her spikes is also blackish but it’s probably from being pecked, her skin also got darker i don’t know what that’s about, and drier too :idunno
 
Odd. The scabbing could be frostbite, attacks, or not enough oxygen, which I doubt.
during the cold and snow times i put her inside so i doubt frostbite, she often gets food all of her face so maybe she was pecked at, and i don’t see why she wouldn’t get oxygen so i’m not sure.

The tips of combs turn black when they have big combs because the don't get enough o2 to reach it.
 
How old is she? Is she laying? Do you have any roosters and hens with her?
she’s 9 months old, she lays every day, and she hangs with her rooster all day unless she’s laying, her other rooster friend died, i was gonna try getting her another hen but she gets mad when she sees other chickens so i didn’t wanna risk the other one getting hurt.

So it's just her and a rooster?
