Liver issue??

[HeritageHenNut]

My silkies got into my Rhubarb patch about a week ago, this morning I let my guys out & the Rooster's comb & wattles are pale/yellowish. Anything I can do for the poor guy? No sneezing/discharge or runny poops that I've seen.

Pale combs are anemia
Check for lice
Otherwise he's having low blood count
Start up some poultry vitamins
If its liver issue give him.plenty of garlic water , fennel tea , ACV in water to detox ..

I don't know if Liv52Vet is avail in US its a liver care herbal tonic comes in India for veterinary purpose

But home remedies like garlic water & fennal tea detox well but u don't think ur chicken having liver issue
When CHICKEN HAVE LIVER issue THEIR POOP LOST THe BILE POOP COMEZ OUT ALL WHITE NO COLOR

Light's not great this morning but he normally has a very dark mulberry comb.

For comparison, this was literally a week ago. (Feather condition sucks because he was in a group of roos.)

Maybe its a bacterial infection going on inside him...

Well, I checked him over and no sign of parasites at all, but I gave him a quick dusting just in case I've missed it. Gave him some vitamins, & put a good dose in their water for the time being and I'll just have to monitor him closely.

Isn’t rhubarb considered toxic to chickens in large amounts? I seem to remember some old posts about that. Okay, just found this article:

Yeah, it is hence my worry. Hopefully he'll come out of it.
