chickenopolis Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Hi - am a bit worried...can someone help me please. Flo is just over a year old, laying every day, eating and drinking, scratting around, like you would expect a chicken to behave. Her face, at certain times of the day is cream/very pale and not the usual pink colour. She has not had a moult yet, she has been recently wormed and have checked her for parasites/bugs - nothing! I clean out the Cube every week - replacing the bedding etc, and have never found any mites when I have been doing it. Checking on her tonight as she snuggled into the nest box, I noticed that her wattles are not bright pink and the bottom of them is slightly pale - matching her face. Has anyone got any ideas please?

Tutti Frutti Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Hello! SOunds like you've checked her for all the right things... just wondering which wormer you used? I was advised by a vet to use Flubenvet (previously on Verm-X which is more like a preventative rather that Flub's cure!). Hope someone else comes along with a better idea soon. Which feed are you giving her? Just wondering if she's getting enough nutrients...??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I agree, if you wormed her with a herbal supplement, it would be worth doing again with Flubenvet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 An observation that might be relevant - I've noticed a couple of mine go slightly paler before they lay. I think it's something to do with increased abdominal pressure. They go back red afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
