sick hen
« on: June 24, 2009, 19:55 »
one of my girls seems a little off colour .  apparently she should now be around 21 weeks old yet she hasnt as yet developed her comb or waddle or whatever there called . apologies for my lack of knowledge like the other girls have and that that has grown is very pink along with the skin around her eyes being pink . She also seems be a lot darker than the others all of a sudden . She seems to be eating as her crop is full in the evenings and empty in the mornings yet she doesnt seem to be going crazy for corn like the others and just hangs back and finishes off the scraps . I have just picked her up and she is extremely thin compared to the others . She spends most the day scratching around and nibbling away but seems slower moving than the others . All of my other 7 girls seem good as always and very healthy indeed

Any ideas gratefully received thanks kind folks

Have they been wormed?
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
