    Pale comb and waddles but it comes and goes.

    Thank you all for your advice. It definitely seems to just be stress of being picked up lol. Like me with socializing as an introvert. ;p She does love to hop on and cuddle in the lap, just on her terms and no other touching. A bit like a farm cat. 😂 Blessings to you all, family and the flocks

    Pale comb and waddles but it comes and goes.

    No actually she seems quite fine in every way even respiratory wise. And the DE is just precautionary on our party added to bedding from time to time. But thought if it had to do with lice or fleas it’d help. I’m wondering if it could just be a mood thing? She tends to be sweet but very cautious...

    Olive is our 1 yr old hen Dominiquer. We have noticed recently that her comb and waddles go pale when picked up. The paleness starts at the base and spreads. Other wise it seems to be normal color. We are going to deworm and use DE regularly in the bedding but my also do a topical treatment...

    Dominicker or Roo Barred Rock?

    I will look at the thread :) I agree lol that’s part of why we started to question Olive’s gender. She was looking way lighter than the other. Lol but know we know she’s just a different breed altogether.

    Dominicker or Roo Barred Rock?

    Yes gender and breed Especially of the Dom. Mainly bc she was sold to us as a BR. So far the BR is very pullet like but will definitely post as time goes on. Thank you again as I appreciate your input :)

    Dominicker or Roo Barred Rock?

    It is good to have confirmation on the breed difference. It was a surprise. We are not sure on the age. The oldest BR is 6-7 weeks and the Dominique is at least 5. Getting the coop ready and predator safe. Hoping to get them outside soon ;)

    Dominicker or Roo Barred Rock?

    I bought what my daughter and I thought to be 2 Barred Rock sexed chicks from the same lot back in late May. As time has gone on, we noticed one has a darker feathering than the other. So we began to wonder if Olive (the lighter of the 2) was actually a Roo. Especially with the way the fluff...
