So recently my leghorn Abby and our Brahma and rooster have had fungal issues on their comb that didn’t go away after the copper sulfate and sadly our welsummer eggatha who is Abby’s sibling (bought them together and they’re 5-6) died on Sunday ans she’s always had weird respiratory issues ans her comb was purple and I’ve noticed Abby after her molt hasn’t laid her eggs her comb isn’t back to normal and for a month or two she doesn’t like being touched so if you pet her or anything she pecks you but still want to sit in my lap but not petted and I have some cord ans work stuff but this just came out of her and I’d noticed more watery poops lately with some solids so does anyone know what it is? She’s my favorite and I want to make sure since the one tied with her as my favorite died that I do everything to figure out what’s causing it. Also the fungus stuff when pulled off looks like a honeycomb in a way or like just the pattern of a comb it’s attached to but the fungal cream I saw suggested didn’t work either so I’m worried. Here’s the pics and also the fungus usually is more yellow white but her comb was cleaned off recently and she’s still eating like normal for the most part but doesn’t seem like her usual self and we originally thought it was from the molt that she became so cranky but the feathers are back but one of our hens has had lice problems (powdered them again last night) and our rooster has mite issues ans has read skin where the tiny microscopic looking mites are on the feathers and he came from these awful ppl that gave them sheep food not chick food ans took them from the light too early and stunted the others growth and had he not broke his leg and gotten here in time he might’ve been like his three siblings we rescued who died so because of how being given the chick food I’m wondering if he could’ve got something and gave them it and we also have had a continuous problem with rats on top of it but the five sleep inside at night in carriers by the door but annoyingly we found mkre mold under their bedding last night so now we need to clean everything even more. Andre our rooster only has contact with our Brahma as far as being in a pen together but they’re all in some distance that’s close to one another so something could’ve easily transferred. She’s still preening and stuff as well and when outside with me gets excited to run around but she’s just had the fungal stuff on the comb and waddles and it hasn’t gone back to normal yet. Any help would be appreciated because I don’t want my baby dying like her sister ans we did wonder if she could’ve had worms and the worm meds came the day she died unfortunately and didn’t have time to work
