Hi again all,
Possibly needing some pretty fast help,
Well we have an issue with Jools, our rescue hen with an abnormally large comb - its turned blue increasingly over the past day or two. I've read around and thought we had lost her as many suggest heart and/or circulation problems.
I checked her vent which seemed fine, but she is just standing still, feathers fluffed up and eyes closed
I read some suggestions that it may be lice or mites?
Just been to check again and her comb is blue and cold, looked in her feathers and there are long thin insects crawling around - they look like hyper-sized head lice that the kids get.
I'm assuming this is the issue. Whats the cure?
Thanks in advance
