Floppy combs

[GreenCreekHaven]

Just wanted to upload pictures of my girls with floppy combs to see if more experienced people think they look normal? I haven't noticed a change in behavior and they still appear normal red color but I wouldn't think their combs are so large they'd flop like this? A 3rd hen is also starting to look like her comb might begin to flop.

The heat could do it i think. Depending on where you live. Mine started to flop so i gave them some electrolytes and they seemed to pop back up.

It's normal for a lot of birds, I wouldn't worry

Nope, as long as they're acting normal, they're fine

They'd enjoy A moist dust bath. Give it a spray with a hose

Ok just checking. It did get up to 104° last week on a freak day but their combs were flopping before that.

What kind of electrolytes do you use for chickens in case needed for the future?

I buy mine at our local farm and fleet. And give them to mine when its hot along with ice in their water.
Its 105 right now. Thats without the humidity. I can get the name.
