Hi, I'm new to the forum and to chicken keeping. A bit concerned one of my chickens may be ill, but googling hasn't been very fruitful...

So as you can hopefully see, her comb isn't as perky or red as my other chickens, and she has these white bits on the side of her head. One of the hens laid a soft egg yesterday too, and I suspect it was her. Is it just the stress of moving or do I have a problem here?

If you have just moved I would say it is the stress of that but looking at her she doesn't look ill, her comb isn't too bad of a colour and the slight flop and ear lobe colouring look ok, they can change comb colour quite quickly if they are hot or stressed, just keep an eye an her eating, pooing, drinking and make sure she gets plenty of calcium in the form of layers pellets and oystershell grit

Thanks for the reassurance, looking at this picture from a few days ago, her comb does seem to have perked up a bit. :)
