At first I thought it could be mites, but it's not. It's flat and now I'm seeing white spots. The one beside her also has a dark spot, but I couldn't get a good shot of her. I didn't notice any on the other two. But, when I looked back at a photo I took two weeks ago, I saw the beginning of the spot.

I do not have the spots, but I noticed a white line on my rooster's comb today also. We have started to have some 30 degree days, so I was wondering if it was frostbite? I will watch your replies. I may have to start the vaseline therapy for him
 
I was just searching and reading threads on frostbite...and just went out to the coop and removed the 8"x10" plexiglass window covering to add more ventilation to the coop.
