Hi all
I have 2 ex battery hens (got them just over a week ago) yesterday i noticed that the comb of one of them is going blue on the tips . It is winter where I am but still gets up to about 24 degrees cecluis in the day so it isnt freezing at all. I am still bringing them inside at night to be safe. The one with the blue comb hasnt laid an egg in about 3 days however she laid an egg practically every day before that. I am wondering if I should be concerened??? I put some vaseline on the comb this morning to try and protect it from the cold if that is what is going on. The other hen seems fine and is still laying.
