Black comb tips

[MarkJr]

I don’t recall this girl having comb coloring like this. Pictures don’t do it justice.

Eats plenty. Not terribly hot. She’s wandering around like normal. Just looks weird.

I wonder if combs bruise, if she got hit by something or trampled on? I only know that combs can go black at the tips due to frostbite, but that doesn't seem plausible since it seems warm where you are.

Doesn’t seem to be getting any better.

It isn’t like anything i can find on fowl pox, cholera flu etc. her combs used to be bright red. She is/was laying. Vent check has her bones about 3 finger widths. She not acting bad.... just off. I’ll catch her off by herself in sort of a trance. Walk right up on her. Bend down to pick her up, she snaps out of it and scampers off. Always comes for treats. Drinks and has a full crop every night. Just off.
