Anaemia

[chickenbaguette]

How common is anaemia in chickens?
What are the symptoms, apart from pale comb and wattles and sluggishness?

How much iron can be fed daily for an anaemic bantam weighing around 990 grams?
Should anything else be done?

Thank you!!

Finding the cause, such as internal or external parasites would be my first priority. Here's an interesting link regarding CAA:
