Hey all,

First time posting here but I’ve been monitoring this forum since I first got my hens and have learned a lot and got a lot of great info from this forum! It looks like my 6 month old Plymouth Rock hen has a little bit of a problem. My wife and I just came home after a few days away and noticed our Plymouth rock’s comb and wattle seemed to have lost some color. From what I gathered on google it looks like it could be anemia from mites? Her feet also seems to look pretty dry and scaly. She still has a great appetite and overall acting totally normal and still has great egg production. Could we be dealing with mites or something else, and what can I do for a treatment? Thanks!

Comb color can be based on mood.
We actually did noticed her comb return to a normal red color later in the day, it seems to lose a little color in the middle of the day. I just wasn’t sure if her legs looked normal, they’re not as smooth as the other hens so it had me worried about leg mites
