Hi everyone! so my chickens have had this fungus looking stuff growing on their combs. i put some anti biotics on one of my little chickens combs and she looks better. not all the way though. she just got over pox. one of my hens also has bumps around her eye. i can’t catch her because she’s so wild. i will continue trying to catch her. also some of my bantahms have very pale combs. they don’t seem sick or anything. this is a picture of our bantahm who just got over pox.

You can continue to apply some triple antibiotic ointment to the comb and wattle to help heal them up. Most likely what you are seeing is dry flaky skin where the Fowl Pox Scabs have fallen off.

I do see what looks like swelling around the eye and a scab that's probably from pecking. Keep watch on the eye to see that the tissue goes down. If you feel that it's really yeast - then you can use an anti-fungal/athlete's foot cream on the comb to see if that makes a difference.

Are they eating/drinking o.k.?
