I have 4 black australorps, 2 RIR's and 2 Buffs. Two of my Australorps aren't laying yet and two have been laying for over 2 months! They are 32+ weeks old. My concern is one doesn't visibly appear healthy in the combs and such. Should I be concerned? I have one other Australorp who IS laying (both the Buff's and RIR'S are laying) that has been terrorizing the other breeds and I'm concerned about whether or not to get rid of her. She has been chasing and running and pecking the Buff's and RIR'S for weeks with no sign of stopping :-\
Anyway, below is a pic of the Australorp I'm concerned about not being healthy. I have wormed them with 2 different wormer meds just to be safe even though I see no sign of worms. Thanks everyone!
