Re: [CHICKENS-101] Roosters with waxy looking combs

 

PS Is domphe your last name?  There was a family with the last name Domphe not far from where I grew up in MI. Cathryn


I have two bantam roosters in breeding cages that have slightly swollen waxy looking combs. Their hens show no sign of this could it something to do with diet? What could it be? I have never seen this before in m-a-n-y years of raising and breeding chickens. They are eating organic layer (20%) along with their little hens. Does anyone have an idea what is going on here? There is no sign of bleeding so it it isn't due to fighting as they are alone with their hens.
