shelley8179 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 My lovely frizzle pekin, Jamie, seems absolutely fine, eating, drinking and attacking the dog if he gets too close . But her comb isn't sitting up any more and looks pale. Is it something that is going to get worse if I dont treat what ever it is she has got, I lost a girl last October and I dont want to lose another .

Egluntyne Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Is she laying? I'd worm her if you haven't done so recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Egluntyne has asked the question that I would ask, is she laying? their combs go much paler when they are not in lay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
