Is it possible for a hen's comb to shrink?
I have a Rhode Island Red who stopped laying eggs at 2 years old (her eggs went from brown to white and then stopped altogether) and now it appears that her comb is getting smaller! What's up with that???!!!
My other girls are currently "on strike" from egg production - one is broody, one is molting, and one is simply slowing down because of the cold weather (I hope!)
I had to buy eggs yesterday for the first time in two years. : (
