The past couple of days have been very difficult. I came home after being out of town for a week to learn my main rooster & 2 of my hens had been killed by coyotes. I was looking at the rest of my roosters & hens when I got home last night & some of them aren't looking too hot. My biggest concern being one of my reds. Her face looks puffy to the point her eyes look heavy (she was able to maintain halfway open last night but this morning shes struggling to even do that. She has now started to just stand around with them closed for periods of time), skin texture looks different like it’s missing the usual texture & is now smooth, pale/dull red, something seems off about her beak (it never looks like this, feathers missing & not exactly where I typically see them missing from the roosters. I tend to be a hypochondriac when it comes to all of my animals so maybe I’m just being paranoid on certain things like the texture? I’ve got 3 other girls that don’t look anywhere near what she does but their faces & combs are starting to turn the same shade /texture & don’t look too good either. I’ve attached 2 of the other 3 as well as a pic of little white specs I’m seeing on all of the chickens. Maybe they were there & I just never noticed.. I don’t know Does anyone have any idea what may be going on & if I should be worried?

Also, now that the head rooster has been killed the 3 remaining all have pretty beat up looking combs compared to before I left. Lots of dried blood which isn’t really too worrisome but I am worried about one of my roosters. His comb has blood spots but then it has also has started to turn black all along the edge of it as well as beyond the edge.

It’s not letting me post a video i took quite a few screenshots from the video.

Also, now that the head rooster has been killed the 3 remaining all have pretty beat up looking combs since it all Halle ed. Lots of dried blood which isn’t really too worrisome but I am worried about my rooster Hei Hei. His comb has blood spots but then it has also has started to turn black all along the edge of it as well as beyond the edge.

It’s not letting me post a video so once I can get it to work I will
Can someone help me with the video? Could it be that it’s too long to post & I need to make the video shorter?
