joybelle Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 She has been off colour for a few days now, her comb is droopy and a very dark red and I think going slightly blue and she is puffed up and doesnt move a lot although I have seen her eat. All of my seven girls are two years plus and none of them have shown signs of illness till now so I guess Daisy is coming to the end of her life, so sad, is there anything I can do for her.

Plum Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I'm sorry to hear it. Has she any other signs? Would you consider having her checked at the vet, 2 + isn't very old unless she's an exbat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joybelle Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Daisy isnt an ex-bat she came from Omlet with the cube. If there is no improvement on Monday I will take her to my chicken friendly vet Joy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Sorry to hear that . I think a blue comb is a sign of heart problems . Sounds like the vet is a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 When one of my batties had sour crop, her comb went blue when she got cold......as soon as she was brought indoors & warmed up she became a much healthier red colour. Is her crop clear in the morning, if not maybe she has sour crop or impacted crop, both nasty ailments but can be treated & very often successfully at home without vet intervention, well mine have at least I hope she recovers soon, Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
