Sooo much pooping

Hello again Omleteers!

 

Potential problems or being overly paranoid again

 

I have 10 chooks which are around 23 weeks now. 8 of which have laying daily and have developed nice big red combs as can be seen in picture 3.

 

The other 2 are worrying me a little though, their combs have not grown much in comparison to the others and the tips have begun to go a little pale, whats more concerning though is their head feathers are becoming specked with white and there are lots of little white bits on show. As the image is of bad quality i'll describe them as looking like small fish bones. You can just about see a few on picture 2. Apologies though the pics were taken on my phone so not the best quality. For some reason the first image has come out smaller also.

 

Also for some reason i cant put an img or url tag on successfully

Aside from the above they are all eating and drinking and seem to act 'normal'.

 

Any advice is very much appreciated

and soon they will be beautiful. They are growing new head feathers and what you can see is the casing that crumbles away.

The white bits you can see are known as pin feathers as they are growing.
