she,s very thin her comb has gone pink her crop is full and hard but still eating and drinking not sure about egg laying she is 3 and half years old she a rhode island red

If her crop is still full on a morning she may have impacted crop. She will not be able to feed properly due to this and needs treatment straight a way. Have a look at the information on treatment on this LINK (http://chat.allotment-garden.org/index.php?topic=4345.0)
Good luck and I hope she gets better. :)

Hi Jeanette, I have merged your 2 posts to save any confusion.
It sounds like she has a really bad infestation if you can see them that easily. They will affect your birds health so here is a LINK (http://chat.allotment-garden.org/index.php?topic=5250.0) with information which should help.
Let us know how she is and remember you will have to treat all of your birds, coops, bedding.
