dirty vent and floppy comb!!
« on: April 10, 2010, 08:15 »
Hi, just wondered if anyone can help? I have 6 hybrid chickens and my 2 rangers both have very dirty feathers around their rear and one has a floppy comb too. Otherwise appear to be eating drinking normally if a tad miserable. Had symptoms for a couple of days.
Hope you can shed some light!! They were all wormed with Vern-x 2 weeks ago.
Thanks
Nat

Do they have a temperature? feel under the wing and then compare to another healthy bird. Are they laying? Clean their rear end and then blow dry using a warm heat setting not a hot setting. Have you compared their poohs to those on the pooh pages? How long has her comb been floppy and is it pale?
Staffies are softer than you think.

Hi, she's had a floppy comb for 2 days but it's not pale, I'm gonna give them a clean up this morning. Neither are laying, they haven't layed since before their moult(which they have both finished now). They both layed what i was told was a lash a couple of months ago if that has anything to do with it?? I will check their temperature when i wash them, they haven't got a cold at the moment though, no runny nostrils or coughing, sneezing etc..
