jlo Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I have had a look to see if I can see an answer to this but apologies if I have missed it... Bella is not laying yet. I don't have any problem with that at all as I am not sure how old she is and I know that she could have quite some time to go. Esme's comb suddenly became much redder and she is now laying the cutest wee eggs. However, Bella's comb is more grey than pink and it doesn't look terribly healthy. She is still a wee bit snuffly but I am pretty sure that it is nothing serious. I just wondered whether grey/pink combs is normal in Bluebelles?

Griffin Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Violet, my Bluebelle, has an almost black comb. It's very dark indeed but so is the rest of her colouring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budgies Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 The thing with hybrids is that they all come out different!! If she's a bit snuffly you could try adding Citricidal to the water. I think you can get it in the Omlet shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
