    *Random Question about floppy combs*

    I raise Silkies but I do have egg layers. My question is this... Are floppy combs (in single combs) a genetic trait? I ask because I hatched some of my RIR eggs and my hen with the floppy comb had floppy comb offspring. I know it's a little silly, but I'm curious.

    After doing some reading, it sounds more like canker or thrush. I was thinking, they did get some feed that was a little moldy, I didn't realize it till after they were eating it. Could that be a factor?

    No, I don't have one nearby. Wouldn't there be swelling around the eyes? And what's the incubation time? They've been in quarantine and I have never had coryza in my flock. How do they get it?

    When I tried to tube feed I did notice a soured feed smell on my hands afterwards.

    Her eye is crusted shut. I got her and other birds about a month ago. They have been kept in quarantine. I noticed another hen was sneezing so I inspected all of them. The breeder I got them from is reputable, but they were brought to me by another lady that was picking up different poultry to...

    Yes, her eye is crusted over. I got her and some other birds about a month ago. Kept them all quarantined. I noticed one of the other birds that came with her has been sneezing. I haven't had this issue ever before. But after handling her, my hands did smell like soured feed.

    Would oxytetracycline work? I have that on hand. And would probiotics help too?

    How do I treat? Antibiotics? I'm assuming she isn't eating because it's uncomfortable and painful but she needs to be tubed, she is thin.

    I've had birds for almost 10 years and haven't seen this before... a Silkie hen with what looks like cottage cheese in her mouth and throat... is that sour crop? I've never dealt/seen it before. I was just about to tube her some food when I noticed, she hasn't eaten today, bearly drank anything...
