reneepren Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Several of my hens have black scabs on their combs. Is this a manifestation of some poultry disease, or are the hens just cranky and pecking each other more? They are temporarily confined to the run and cube as I have just over-seeded the destroyed back lawn with winter grass seed and I am waiting for the seed to sprout and the grass to establish. Thanks.

Egluntyne Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 My guess is that they are pecking marks, if they are otherwise well. If they are ill with it , and the marks blister, they could have Fowl Pox,which isn't generally very serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
