    My chickens combs are pale, and they are not laying, they looked kind of scrawny before.... Could it be worms? How do I prevent/get rid of them? HELP! [​IMG]

    How old are they? Are they molting? If so, they will lose weight, stop laying and become pale. Could be worms, but hard to say for certain.

    Yes, they have been molting a few weeks ago, would it still be affecting them? They are about a year old. Thanks for your help.
