my ri reds have developed black spots on their combs and beard. any chance this could be from cold?we have had 2 nights in the low 20's so far.

also i have 1 ri rooster and 2 bantam roosters . they only seem to fight when one of them wants to ride a hen. no visible damage yet .do i need to separate or will they live

together?

Hmmm.... its hard to tell without a picture. It could be blood spots as well, from being pecked. Are the spots on the tips?

I don't have any roosters, but I have plenty of friends with multiple roosters, and they seem to do ok. They will fight a bit, as it is their nature, but just keep an eye on them.

My cockerel had this when i first got him home, he didnt have it before. The black spots went after about 2 weeks. I just put it down to the stress of him moving house!!

It could be from frostbite as those temperatures are cold enough for it. Just keep an eye on them and let us know if they get better. Frost damage can take a couple of weeks to heal.

As far as the fighting goes, roosters will fight each other to go for a ride!

If it's very cold its probably frostbite. Keep an eye on them because if it gets bad it looks painful. I breed old English games so they are dubbed at one year old but when they are young if it gets too cold some of them start to get it seems to start on the parts that are exposed while they sleep. Like the back of the comb,and the tips.

This happened to my rooster too, earlier this winter. It was the first time he was exposed to the cold temperatures. I assumed it was frostbite! After a week or so, his comb curled and became discolored. I was told to use vaseline to coat their combs with. We do this when we are expecting a cold spurt and when the first black spots appeared. It has helped! The original spots have disappeared and the vaseline has kept new ones from appearing. His comb is healed and regrowth is appearing!! Hooray for BOB!!!!!! Roos will fight a little with each other over the hens. These marks will be more like scratches and resemble scabs. I hope this information helps! Krista

The next day at the club, it was business as usual but there was a new porn tube fella roaming around. He was older and definitely sexier than my conquest from the night before. I approached him and animal porn introduced myself. After a few hours, the older waitress approached me animal sex and asked what I thought of Rick. I was about to answer when she quickly blurted out that he was married! QIX903752A13

Since I heard about Canada goose, I have been keen on canada goose jackets and Canada goose parkas. Every time the chilly winter is approaching, I always make a choice of Canada goose down coats. I cannot imagine that I have not a canada goose down coat under the brutal conditions. If you ask me for some advice, I would say Canada goose clothes will be your best choice. What if you still don't have Canada goose clothing now? It doesn't matter. 2011 Canada goose collections contain more new styles of Canada goose coats. Please grasp the chance to buy Canada goose for yourself. [yuan]
