Pale comb and wattles what could be the reason anyone?

[oldhenlikesdogs]

My most important question is so they lay eggs while going through coccidiosis, worms and sinusitis?

If they are truly ill they will almost always stop laying.

 

[bintekhan]

Right. I will try that by tomorrow morning.

Ok right I see. They are laying every other day. And sometimes 3 in a tow.

If they are suffering from a respiratory disease, such as a virus or mycoplasa (MG,) they may have decreased laying. Unless you are seeing serious problems, such as bubbles in the eyes, crackles when breathing, and coughing, I would just watch them. If they have those, you can try to get an antibiotic, such as tylosin or oxyteracycline to use to treat symptoms.

I also use shallow pans of water for the chickens to stand in during very hot weather to cool themselves, and provide shade.

When they don’t lay eggs, some hens will get pale combs and wattles. Also hens who suffer from a laying disorder, such as internal laying or egg yolk peritonitis, may become pale. The most common place to look for lice or mites is under the vent area on their bellies by parting the feathers. Some hens will take a break from laying eggs in really hot weather. Here is an article to read about MG:

They both don't like my rooster. They just screaming a lot when my tooster tries to do his job. Should I sepesepa the roo?

One of them do cough sometimes while eating . I heard a gargling sound from one of my hens she had huge watery crop that day.

Yes , they go through molt.but my hens didn't. They are laying now every other day They eat paper, hay shavings and their own feathers. Taking interest in other things rather than their own food.

Yes, separate the rooster. It's really hot where you are so taking him out may give them a little more room and if they are not receptive to his advances this will give them some peace.

The eating of paper, shavings, feathers, etc. I would provide them with extra protein - give them some egg, fish or meat. Can you get some poultry vitamins? Nutri-Drops for birds or something like that? I would give them vitamins for 3-5 days as well.

The coughing while eating is a bit concerning. Check that hen's crop first thing in the morning before she eats/drinks - the crop should be empty. Coughing when eating and/or having a gurgling sound could be an indication of a crop issue.

Provide them with some type of grit so they can process foods easily - do they have access to course sand, crushed granite or soil that has small rocks/pebbles? Chickens need to that in order to grind up food in the gizzard.

Their poop pic. A bit of smell in there. And their crops are a bit full didn't empty in the morning.

Is seems to be a coccidiosis but I am not sure.

 

[bintekhan]

Their poo pic. Their crops were not empty today morning when I checked. It seems to be a coccidiosis to me. Black or tar coloure poop are quite smelly.

 

[Aunt Angus]

If you're sure it's coccidosis (I'm not convinced, myself), you should treat them for it. You are getting good advice here, but you should treat them in whatever way you think is best. Good luck!

Whenever I've seen coccidiosis, there is blood in their poop. Chickens produce two types of poop; fecal poop and cecal poop. Cecal poop is usually like black tar and sticky.

If it's not digesting it's food, I'd say it's sour crop or impacted crop or something else to do with the crop.
