I have a 1.5 year old Brahma who has these white spots on her comb. They are hard. She appears to be eating and drinking ok and the 6 other hens do not appear to be showing any signs. Does anyone have an idea about what this could be and treatment options?

Look into this as a possible match for your hen's symptoms... I found this info on another post and copied the pertinent part: "If it is a fungal infection called favus, it can spread from the comb to feathered areas. Treatment consists of applying antifungal cream such as miconazole (Monistat) or clotrimazole (Lotrimin, others) daily with a disposable glove. If a vet is available, they may take skin scrapings to confirm fungus."
