Paul Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I have three chickens and they are fine except the Blackrock. She has white tinges to some feathers, her tail is down and she looks fed up the other two are fine. Any ideas? I'm gettig worried. Thanks in advance Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Am not sure that the white tinges are serious. Has she been moulting? They have can ohave whitish appearance when the new feathers grow through. Has she been wormed recently? Is she eating and drinking? A good quality variety of layers pellets or mash and not too many treats? Is she laying? Sometimes when they lay soft eggs it can make them a bit poorly.

Egluntyne Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Why not worm her and check her thoroughly for evidence of lice and mites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
