So I have 5 girls left of my dozen from last year ( well six with the broody that's in my yard ATM). The others died from Marek's we believe and these ones survived.. One of the hens doesn't look all that great. Her comb is pale, wattles and a bit redder but not much and she doesn't tend to hang out in the coop with the others. She walks fine and makes similar noises as the others, not sure of she's laying tho and her feathers look fine. Besides not hanging out with the other girls during the day,often times she also isn't in the coop at night, and when she is, it's usually in the nest box for the night.
I'll add a picture I took last night but its not too great to show what her comb looks like , so I'll take another tonight. Also I have not checked her for bugs of any sort.
The other hens look and act perfectly fine.
The top of her comb is almost white
And doesn't look as nice as the others combs
