Now her legs look awful, scabby and brown, she's pecking at her legs constantly, the scales are coming off leaving raw skin underneath. Anyone know what this is? Can I treat it? Is it contagious to our ducks and...

    hi! I am babysitting my aunt's hen who was recently attacked by a fox, probably has Mareks, and has a runny nose. My question here is about her strangely bright red comb and waddle.
