In the past week I had a sudden drop off in egg production from about 10 eggs normally in 4 days to about 4 in 4 days. They were low on water about 4 days ago and it was moderately hot, so at first I attributed it to that, but then I saw some fresh red blood spots and splatter inside of the hen...
Hello, I am new to raising chickens, and most of mine have developed black sores on their combs and wattles.
1) What is this?
2) How can I treat it?
3) Is it safe to eat the eggs?
Thank you for your help.
