I have a 1 year old cream legbar chicken exhibiting concerning symptoms. She is pretty small compared to my other legbars of the same age. Unsure of weight but hasn’t decreased in size since symptoms appeared. She is very lethargic. Walks around a little but mostly just laying down. Isolating...
Hey so it’s our first winter with our 3 beautiful ladies.(olive egger,Easter egger, and a cream legbar) The olive egger aka Olivia hasn’t laid this winter, and now that I’m looking at her her comb is pale. She’s been eating and her treats as well, but hasn’t been laying or just been down a bit ...
Hi all! I need help. About a week ago I noticed that one of my older hens' comb went went from red to a very light pink. I chalked it up to our cold weather/molting until today when I noticed that she was holding her tailfeathers quite low. My first thought is that she is eggbound and when I...
Hello all my names Paul and have been raising my chikums for about 23 weeks, 2 americauna and 3 yellow buff Orpington if memory serves. Question is as follows, 2 buffs laying regular, almost 1 a day each or close it seems the last buff has almost no comb or waddles and has always been pale...
Hi, I have a bantam-breed chicken. He's only 9 months old, and his appearance started to get pale when a typhoon hit our country. My guess is that my chicken is anemic, so I treated it with vitamin + iron capsule, yet days after, it's still pale and starting to lose its appetite. Her poop is...
New and first time chicken momma here. What could be going on with Lulu here? Her skin is crusty and dry, her wattles and comb are pale and very dry (almost looks like craft glue that’s peeling off) and her face is white (like baby powder).
She has also not been growing new feathers at all, I...
Our barnevelder is our first girl to go broody about 2-3 weeks ago. She’s around 18 months old and was growling and taking food from my hand up until a few days ago when I got too sick to climb into the coop for a few days to hand feed her.
Last night she was in her nest, seemingly her normal...
My family member bought like 10 chickens from some guy online. They were delivered to us and they were all low energy, pale a droopy combs. There are four left and this is the condition they’re in right now. The rest of them died. Is this an illness I can treat or did we get old dying hens?
The...
Hello!
I have a blue andulusian (11 months) who has been much paler in the past couple weeks. Now, the temperature and humidity here has spiked recently (central Florida) and this hen has always been sensitive to heat, for whatever reason; strange, since the breed is supposedly heat tolerant...
Concerned for my rescued hen.
Hey y’all, this here is roadrunner our first rescued hen. we’ve had her about a month and 2ish weeks now, my partner and his coworkers ended up spotting her in a very busy part of our town when heading home for the day. we assume she’s a young hen as she’s smaller...
Hello!
I have a mother hen (Cochin bantam) with three week old chicks. She acts fine, doing her job well, and her poops look perfectly normal, but I noticed today right after she took a drink of water, she spit it all up and sneezed. I only saw her do this once before the day after the chicks...
One of my chickens, not the biggest, but the most precocious, as well as the alpha, has been molting for 4 weeks now, first molt. She is active frisky, and eats well. I am however concerned about her pale, shrunken comb. Should I be?
My 3.5 yr old Silver Laced Wyandotte is just finishing a molt and has pale comb, decreased energy, and decreased appetite. I thought it was just the molt, but then I found poop with red gel balls in it. I would not characterize it as blood. I found one poop chart saying it was coccidiosis, but...
My speckled Sussex Beebee has been looking worse and worse. Her comb has been pale for a while, but she's been molting. Now, though, one of her legs is swollen and she has that sick, hunched over look. She's starting to shake her head every few seconds when she's standing still, and every now...
I noticed about a month ago that one of my chickens’ combs was very pale and shrivelled and that she seemed to have less energy than the others. When I picked her up I also noticed that she is extremely skinny under her feathers, like basically a skeleton. I brought her inside and dewormed her...

One of my hen is having pale comb. She is less active, not foraging as much as the other hens, like sometimes she just stands there alone doing nothing and just staring. She drinks and eats, but she feels kinda light. She is still alert, it was not easy to catch her. I checked her skin, I don’t...
I have a cream legbar pullet whose eyes look… odd. She’s absolutely healthy, preening, scratching, pooping, eating, drinking, etc.
But her eyes are a strange shape, and I’ve noticed her blinking a bit and sometimes shaking her head.
I got her & her 4 sisters from a guy who told me they were...
