RE: [CHICKENS-101] Black Spots on hens heads

 

> I have 5-19 month old barred rock hens, and 3 of them have developed
black wart like spots on their Combs, waddles, and around their eyes. One
has MANY spots but the others dont have as much. They eat fine and act
fine. Does anyone know what this might be?

sounds like they may have fowl pox:

would you please report back how long it takes them to recover and if the
other two are getting it too?
