haha foxy 

I let this girls out this morning and my poorly girl was this first out! I proceeded to feel her comb and it felt ok, not hard and felt quite similar to the other girls. She is a lot happier today, scrathing around the garden with the others, tail up and looking a lot happier than yesterday. I will keep an eye on her today to see how she goes.

Maybe it was just that soft shelled egg that took it our of her for a few days and now shes over it?!?!?!

Here is a pic of her i just took:


Thanks everyone for your help, ill be back is she gets bad again

She looks champion now.  Just like mine, except we didn't have the soft shelled egg.  Don't they worry you though, with their ups and downs?
