likeastar--x Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 but the chickens combs have got paler recently? also one of them have a comb that has collapsed and now lies vertically on her head. its not flopping, its actually at a 90 degree angle! also they look generally a bit paler and stuff with almost yellowy skin/beaks? is this winter? thanks x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 No, thats not normally what would happen in winter. Have you wormed them of late - might be worth dosing them in this instance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Have they stopped laying? Are they moulting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
