Hey everybody!
I noticed my two large Cochin roosters along with my two lavender Orpingtons have black bumpy spots along there combs any idea what it is? My other Orpington and Cochin hens seem to not have this. All of them are completely healthy. I do have two silkies one of which I think has mites and her feathers are frizzled. My other silkie seems completely healthy. Does anyone else’s chickens have this?

Due to my silkie's condition, I thought it was mites, but after looking it up, it said it could be fowl pox or being bullied. Do any of these match the pictures? Also, the ones with the black spots are higher up on the pecking order.
 
You can try to wash off the scabs if they are only dried blood. Black scabs from pecking will take a few weeks to heal, turning tan and then white before healing.
