    Strange Dots on Comb

    Only of my Cockerels has developed spots on his comb. It started as white dots (kind of like hard water spots) and now is dark. He is otherwise very healthy, biggest chicken in the group, so no emergent needs I think but don't want to ignore it. Here is a close up and a full picture. (Don't...

    Why does my pullets comb look like this?

    My pullet’s comb has been turning blackish gray over the past two weeks. She is still laying every single day and behavior still seems completely normal. This is all new to me, so any thoughts and advice are appreciated. Thanks!

    Werid maran or something else?

    I got some chicks from tractor supply and 2 are marans. One has the comb their suppose to have while her sister has a rose comb. Did tractor supply mess up when sorting the breeds or is her comp just not growing in yet for some reason?

    Roo in Shock?

    My hen and Roo were recently attacked by my neighbors dog. I was able to save them, and my hen is doing okay however my Roo is barely eating / drinking water. His comb has fallen to the side and has turned a little purple at the tips. He’s hunched over. I’m really worried about my little fella 😢

    13 week old hen or roo?

    Hello again! Just found out that 2 of the 4 chickens we got are roosters so just want to make sure we don't have even more bad luck. We got this chicken from my sons school who got the eggs from a breeder and then the students raise the eggs in the incubator and watch them hatch. I included...

We have 4 Barred Rocks, 3 Buff Orpingtons, and 2 Ameraucanas. They have a large 8x8' raised coop that is...

    Fowl Pox or Bullying (update with 2 more pics)

    Edit: got 2 pictures of one hen on the roost tonight with bloody comb. Does that happen with fowl pox? This all seemed pretty sudden. Hello all. I have 5 backyard hens between 1.5 and 4 years old. I was home this weekend and I thought it seemed like there was more bickering than should have...

    Comb Dying???

    My black copper maran rooster used to have a beautiful comb. However, lately, I've noticed that his comb has turned purple. He is around 8 months old and enjoys a good comb massage. IT FELT COLD when I touched the purple area while the rest of the comb felt hot. I'm concerned and I'm not sure...

    Injured/torn comb. Should I clip it or let it heal?

    Hi all. Somehow during some commotion in the run my 6 month old buff Orpington hen tore her comb. It bled pretty good and is definitely separated a bit. Of course I’d love for it to heal on its own, but it’s been two days now and it still is somewhat separated. I’ve separated her from the flock...

    Chicken has white spots on comb and black tips

    Hi all. My hen is a lavender Orpington about 6 months old, and I realized her comb has some white on it with black tips. I think it’s been this way for quite a while, but since another hen got a comb injury I’ve been paying closer attention to all the others. Do you think this is maybe some sort...

    What is causing the brown crusty spots on the comb?

    Does anyone know what is causing the brown crusty spots on the comb of this hen? She is an easter egger ~7 months, its summer time where I live, has been very dry and hot. Does not appear on other hens.

    Purplish comb on the back

    Hi! I have a Barred Rock and her comb has been going purplish in the back and within 5 minutes it went back to bright red. Wondering if this is normal? She is acting normal, eating, dust bathing and being the bully at the top of the pecking order. Why does this happen?
