I was at college yesterday so i only saw her briefly in the morning, she seemed fine. When i returned from college in the afternoon i couldn't find her, went to look for her and found her hiding under a bush in the garden, didn't think any thing of it because she looked up at me and seemed ok, thought she was just getting away from the strong winds we were having.
I locked them up at dusk and they were all roosting as normal.
When i let them out this morning she went out with the others and ate the warm oats i gave them, after i saw her walking uncomfertably back to sit under the bush again, i did notice her comb looks whiteish and maybe slightly flopped over.
I am going to go outside now and give her a good check over, i will report if i find any thing else.
TIA
