Pale Comb That Looks Dry and Powdery!

Do I have to take her to a vet for worming? Or can I get that at Tractor Supply? (Where I get most everything!)

Some vets may carry these things. Most feed stores carry different wormers. There are liquids you put in the water, some you put on a piece of bread, some you put into the feed.

You might try some Safeguard Equine paste. Comes in a long tube that looks like a giant syringe. You can even get this at Walmart in the pet section with the horse stuff. Put a pea sized dolup on a tiny piece of bread and give each of your birds one piece. Make sure to do this individually so everybody only gets one piece. You will need to repeat this in 10 to 12 days. Do not eat the eggs for 2 weeks past the last dosage.

I agree with the worming advice, that's what I would do. Best of luck to you!

My FiFi passed away this evening. She just continued to decline, and today, she never really came out of the coop. When my husband went to shut the coop doors, he found her. We suspect that she was just old, and it didn't seem as though she struggled at all. Thank you all for trying to help. It's very, very sad that when I open the door to the coop in the morning, she won't be there.

Oh, I am so so sorry about your FiFi.

It is never easy to lose them. The coop is never the same without them. I hope your heavy heart can heal soon.

You need to give her an exam. Check her for egg binding, bugs, crop check and worm them if they have not already been wormed. Use Corid for Cocci if you suspect it. Don't wait too long on these things.
