    Grey colour on comb?

    Hello, I have a 3 month old lavender Orpington and he/she is depressed and lethargic. But eating and drinking ok. The only thing i can think of is maybe it found some flower fertilizer? Also, I noticed this grey gunk on the comb, is that normal? Feels underweight..., could it be mites?
