Strange spiky bits on comb

I just noticed today that one of my ex bats has got something odd going on with her comb. Its hard to describe, but on the tips of the spiky bits on the comb, she has got hard things sticking out. It sounds odd but they look like tips of claws or tips of feathers sticking out. These bits are sort of dark greyish, are hard and only about 4 mm ish long. It definitely looks like something is coming out of each spike and not that she has been pecked or that something has stuck in them. Any ideas or has anyone had anything similar?

Not saying this is definately the same, but Winnie had a couple of spikes on her comb spikes when I first got her. They were black and I was convinced she had been frost bitten before she arrived with me. However, after a month or so I noticed they had "fallen off".

 

Be interested to see your pictures.
