Calamity Jane Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Should I be worried about the pale combs and faces of my three Light Sussex hens? They have been moulting (in turns!) for the last 4 weeks and they are not laying. They didnt really have a moult last year or stop laying much either as they were not that old. They have been wormed recently and are eating and drinking well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Nothing to worry about. It is related to the dip in their hormones. They will redden up again as they come back into lay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 Thanks Egluntyne, I thought that was the case, but I am still new to keeping chickens and would hate to ignore it and then find out I should have done something about it.
