Why is her comb black like that
Our take
Meet Nugget, the feisty 5-week-old Rhode Island Red who's giving her owner a mini heart attack with her unexpected black spots! Just a week or two ago, a curious dark patch appeared on her upper beak, and now the tip of her comb has joined the party. Is it a sign of something serious, or just a quirky chicken thing? As chicken enthusiasts (and the mildly chicken-phobic) gather to unravel this feathered mystery, we can’t help but wonder if Nugget is just trying to express her unique style. Share your thoughts and insights—let's find out together what could be causing this cluck-tastic transformation! Don’t worry about the slightly shaky photos; Nugget clearly had other plans besides posing!
| | This is nugget. She’s 5 weeks old and a Rhode Island red. One day a week or 2 back I noticed a spot on her upper beak had turned black and now as of the last few days the tip of her comb has also turned black. Does anyone know what this could mean? Ignore the mildly bad pics she wouldn’t sit still so I had to hold her down with my hand. [link] [comments] |
