How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[SeasideChick]

Hello all,

 

One of my chickens (rhode island red hybrid) recently went broody for about 4 weeks. She came "out of it" about a week ago. During her broodiness, I noticed her legs and beak had become more YELLOW. Now her legs look much more yellow than the other non-broody rhode island red hybrid that we have.

 

Her legs are still smooth and she seems happy and is doing normal chicken things!!

 

Any ideas why her legs are yellow? She does have a handful of corn each night, but no more than the other three girls, and their legs are fine!!!!

 

 

Thanks a lot.

She's not been putting pigment out into the eggs whilst broody, and has built up her reserves again.

 

It will fade again as she gets back into the swing of laying.

Thanks again!
