Can anyone advise please? Our Lavender Pekin, age unknown, has recently started to look positively sick. She has very pale comb and is decidedly yellow faced. She has been sitting for days but has laid no eggs to the best of my knowledge. Still eating and running around.......

Not sure what to do for the best. Any suggestions?

Check for a red mite infestation. Run a white piece of cloth or paper under the perches at night and if it comes out red you have red mite.

Thank you for that suggestion. We have tested and looked for Red Mite but nothing shows, thanks goodness.
