There are plenty of mosquitoes but it seems to have healed for the most part already. I will look up dry pox though as something to be on the lookout for. Thanks!
Thanks all! I was hoping just peck marks so good to get confirmation from y'all with more experience. We don't have a rooster so must be from her sisters.
One of our hens recently developed black marks on both sides of the back of her comb. She doesn't love being handled so I haven't picked her up for a close look .. wondering if these are just peck marks how long they would take to heal? Or should grab her to check it out?
