a listless comb is a sign of stress and or illness , same as for the other post collect dandelion leaves and try that

Can't it also be sign of being too hot? Mind you, with this weather I don't think this is the answer, unlessyou have them in a sauna.

Has she always had a floppy comb or is it a recent thing ?

I dont know whether its always been like that as we have only had her for a few weeks but i think it may have been why does that make a difference

Some breeds have floppy combs. Do you know what breed she is :?:

Does she seem well in all other ways :?:

Well she is a light sussex and she seems pretty healthy. none of my chickens have started laying yet so i can't rule her out by that. I think she may have just been born with it but not sure

If she's eating and drinking well, not sitting hunched in a corner but scratching around with the other chooks, I wouldn't worry. Just keep an eye on her to be sure
