"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"



Hi! Good Mornining and Merry Christmas! I have a question that I am sure you can help me on. My Black Stars have combs that curl/flop over. One more than the other. The one in the foto is Jazzmine. When she was younger, her comb was black, it has never been bright red. I'm noticing that it curls. Her poop is fine, she is laying great and eating great and acts like she feels good. I don't know how long it has curled because I only recently read that it can be an indication of something wrong. She is on Layena (I'm switching to organic when this bag is done), scratch, oyster shells and greens and fruit each day. Do you think her comb is an indication of illness or something missing from her diet? THANKS guys. You're the best!!!
 
Terri, your boys are stunning. Absolutely beautiful. I replied to your post yesterday but I guess it didn't post. I love the different colors. Remarkable!
Terr, I have an extra large mirror that stands 5 feet tall and 3 feet wide. I already have mirrors in the pea pen. Not sure if you have or use mirrors in your pea pen but if you are interested in a mirror, please let me know. I have one that you can have. I can bring it to you on my next feed run to Petrus.
lol Julie -- my Mom just told me the other day she has one the same size that is out at their tractor shed & offered it to me. I've never tried putting a mirror in the pea pen before but might do so -- what do yours do with it - display to it? Might be fun to try it out & see how they react. (as long as they don't try & fight it or anything).
 
Wishes for a fast recovery garilyn

OK no answers here - I have an Andalusian hen who has a big, floppy comb but I always figured it was just her own individual characteristic. Maybe somebody more experienced will know.

Is she going thru molt now or has been in molt sometimes the comb will wither up and seem to curl up and get lighter pinkish and dull/not waxy as you describe when the girls are molting if not maybe check for parasites/worms infestation maybe IDK? chicken problems are so hard to diagnose on-line
LOL

Hope everybody had a good Christmas I'm full as a tick too. everbody please whisper a much needed Christmas prayer and well wishes for a speedy recovery, my sister slipped down the wet steps this morning (wearing flip flops) carrying her 55 lb. 7 year old out to the car so she wouldn't get here new bunny slippers wet and broke her leg right above the ankle, broke the tibia into and fractured the fibula they got it Xrayed in Leesville but had to make a journey via car ride to LSU in Shreveport to get examined and await a surgery time/date they say a orthopedic Dr. is hard to see now as they have had multi wet road wrecks up there today/tonight and will be some time before she can see one much less get tended to. Merry Christmas to sis.

just got the phone call they are gonna set it then splint it and she's gonna have to wait for the swelling to subside some so she has a date on the 3rd to go back, man! thats a long time of suffering,

Jeff

Thank you, Jeff. So sorry to hear about your sister. I started sending the prayers up. I pray that your sister has such an uncanny healing that the only explanation is the prayers.
