Hi Everyone!
Looking for some advise ... I have a 1 1/2 year old Copper Moran hen who at around 22 weeks last year started laying eggs, her comb was normal color. She laid for 3 months and then all of a sudden in the spring quit, her comb became pale almost white and has stayed that way. Ive checked her for mites and lice. She's clean my other hens are clean. All of her activity was still normal up until a day ago when she started to become less active. I did get her to eat some eggs tonight and put the heater on for her since its starting to get into the 20's here.She does feel to me like she's losing weight. Her eyes are clear. All 5 of my other hens are fine. I don't think its worms or parasites and her food is iron fortified. Ive tried to read everything I can find. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas on what else this could be? -- Thanks
