Pale comb and wattles what could be the reason anyone?

42° is very hot! Are they suffering from heat stress? Are they dehydrated? Maybe try adding electrolytes in their water.

Sinusitis and other respiratory infections often present with swollen, puffy eyes and congestion. They sometimes stop eating and act very lethargic. Do your chickens have those symptoms?

Yes I am giving them electrolytes.

One of my hen bosy temperature is quite high .when I pick her up I can feel that extra warmth.

They sneeze occasionally. Will take some close up pics of those hens. They get irritated most of the times. Eating feathers, their bedding . Papers. But not taking that much interest in their fees.

I have pallets for layers.
Corn meal
And mixed grains.

I do feed them watermelon and tomato es as it's hot and humid over here.

There is quite paleness around their eyes. Should I give them steam or saline solution wash?

Totally confused. It could be worms, coccidiosis, liver issue or sinusitis and yes lice or mites.

I am from Pakistan. So over here it's quite hot and humid. Now my birds are indoors.

 

[bintekhan]

Have seen lots of sparrows dying from heat stroke. I have provided them with water too with electrolyte.

I really do wonder if they're overheated? My birds behaved that way last summer when we had a heat wave here. I put a box fan in the run and one in the coop. Also lots of fresh cool water. They really don't like the heat at all. I don't know if that's what is wrong with your birds, but it sounds like it might be a possibility.

I wouldn't feed corn if your temps are high. Corn makes chickens produce extra heat when it's digested. Once it gets warm I stop giving fresh corn on the cob. I feed water based fruits and veggies once the temp is above 70 degrees.

Are you sure they are both hens?

 

[Wyorp Rock]

Provide them with cool water and electrolytes.
Is there a way to circulate some air for them - maybe a fan?

I do think they are suffering from heat stress - try making it cooler for them and see if that makes a difference before you start treating for respiratory illness.

 

[bintekhan]

Yes they are indoors now. I have two hens and a rooster. Will post close up pics too.

One of them acts like if something is chocking. She starts coughing while eating something . I am giving them cucumber too.

I guess when they heayup their poops become watery. But my hens are doing poo very often.


Should I deworm them with albendazole? They are indoors for the past two weeks.

I am really very thankful to all of you for helping me out from this situation.

They are getting a bit lighter in weight.
