Hey everyone,
I have a Faverolle hen who has been looking unwell lately. She has a very pale comb, and is reluctant to eat. Very quiet and prefers to keep to herself. I let her be and just watched her for a few weeks now, and although she isn't getting worse quickly, she seems to be declining slowly and is not getting better.
I have another Faverolle hen in the same flock who started losing feathers on her breast, but seemed fine and clucky. Then all of a sudden a few days ago she just, well, got sick. Pale comb, very inactive, just sits in the shed all day with her head tucked under her wing. It looks like the same thing the other one has, only much worse. We had a perfectly healthy hen in that coop die very unexpectedly (all good that morning, dead that afternoon), wondering if that might be something of concern?
In another flock (neighbouring this one) I have a Buff Sussex who had been looking unwell for a while as well, not active, and today her comb went light purple.
Not sure if all this is related or what it could be - any help or advice would be very much appreciated!
