What is wrong with her comb?

[Cutie Clucker]

One of my barred rocks has black and white spots on her comb. The other one doesn’t. They showed up a few weeks ago and I don’t know what they are. Should I be concerned? Should I separate her from my other hens?

I live in Phoenix, and when I first noticed them, the average temp was in the upper 60’s.

I think it’s fowl pox. Separate her from the others.

Hi, neighbor! Could another hen be pecking at her? Sometime's there's another hen in the nesting box when another girl want's to lay her egg too.

Do you know what the symptoms are for fowl pox?

I suppose. I have 3 and they all lay about the same time. I will see if I can catch them in the act, but I don’t know how I can do that without affecting egg production. Any suggestions?

I just go out there and watch them. If there's trouble, I remove one. Sometime's a couple of hen's seem to enjoy the other one in the nest with them. It just all depend's.
