    My Australorp on the right hasn't been her best in the last week. Her comb is yellow instead of red, moves slowly, hasn't been eating much (crop still filled but not super full), and has no energy to reach the roost at night. No observable blood in stools. Stools look normal, with no...

    3 hens and our rooster showing pale shrunken combs but acting normal-ish. Rooster has previous injuriues.

    Hello, first of all let me start out by saying I/we made a mistake by not writing this sooner and that is my fault, I acknowledge that. Our flock consists mostly of jersey giant mixes and lives in an old stable rather than a coop. We had one jg rooster from a less than savory place who liked to...

    II have a 2 year old speckled Sussex hen with an extremely swollen foot and no scab on the bottom. I don't think it's scaly leg mites either because her scales are fairly smooth. Her normally smooth feathers are super scraggly looking, her comb is pale and wattles are really thin. She limps when...

    Pale Comb Unless Excited - No Other Symptoms

    Hello. My 1 year old EE hen started presenting an intermittently pale comb--if she was relaxing or hanging out in the run she'd be very pale but when I'd come in and/or bring treats she'd immediately turn red. She's eating, drinking, and pooping normally. Seems to have plenty of energy for...
