Is my pekin bantam male or female?

[cathf]

Poppy is about 2 years old and she has started what I thought was her first moult. She has also not been laying eggs for the last week or two but I put that down to her moult. However, her comb is starting to pale and flop slightly. She is regularly wormed with flubenvet. Can anyone give me any advice??

A pale comb during a moult is normal. Her hormones will have dipped and she will be off lay too, to allow her body to rest and put all its energies into growing feathers.

 

A protein boost such as dried meal worms , rinsed tuna or unmedicated chick crumbs will help.
