Hi Has anyone herd of white spots on their girls comb several following the line of the comb in the middle. Just checked on my ladies and found Emily Red Sexlink has this on her comb. No other issues that I am awear of. She like her sister are both free range and both laying well.

Is this something to be worried about or just something some chickens have?
 
probably the start of frostbite just keep her warm and put vaseline on the tips of her comb and add some ventilation in ur coop otherwise the top of her comb could fall off

and good lucj i think shell be okay;)

I had thoght of that. We live in the tropics and are in the middle of the wet season. So raining and damp but no frost. Will post pictures of it when I can.

any other ideas?

The spots are mid way on her comb in a line. Nothing elce has shown up yet and its now day two. Still only on one chicken.
 
Thanks for that link. I also checked with the feed place today when I pikced up some more lay mash. It is not uncomen to have here due to the wet and it is treatable with olive olil. Comical to apply to the girls as they wanted to eat the q tip. I was told its the chicken equivalant to "cradle cap"? Chickens in tropical environments apparently get it all the time.
