My hens are starting to get sick. I don't know what's wrong with them but they are getting all these warts on her comb. Can anyone help?!? The one in the back looks fine but Delta (in the front) is really worrying me.

It looks like she has Fowl Pox which is a virus that is spread by mosquitoes. It will usually resolve itself in several weeks. You can apply Iodine to the scabs to help dry them up.
Watch to see that she is eating/drinking well. If you see scabs around the eyes, watch those for any sign of infection.
Here's some a good article for you
