bungle Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 We have a 8 month old hen and her comb seems to be shrinking and going dark, she seems well in herself and being normal? Over winter I did put comb protector on her but this doesn't seem to of made a difference any ideas? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Is she well in herself? If it's going blue then it may be a reason to worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungle Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 She is well, still out with the others and eating and drinking. She isn't moulting and no change in her toilet droppings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Darker red may mean ready to lay I find their combs shrink when moulting otherwise, I haven't a clue why they would shrink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
