    Purple comb, tail down. lethargic hen - photos

    So today in the evening, I noticed my hen was acting strange. When they went outside, she just sat in the sun under a tree as all the other hens picked around. I got her to drink water and eat food. She is acting very lethargic, and the top of her comb is purple which I think may be a sign of...

    Hen with purple comb

    I’ve got a 1 and two month old blue Andalusian who gets a purple comb on the back and tips. (Pics included, but it looks darker in person). It isn’t all day, just usually in the evening when she’s moving around a lot more. I wasn’t too concerned at first because she has a pretty big comb, but...

    Lethargic Sick Chicken - help!

    I have a 3 year old buff Orpington that we noticed had been a very swollen abdomen around the date of the 15th of March. Thinking she was possibly egg bound, we gave her an epsom salt bath but no change the next couple days. I then looked into the symptoms of water-belly. We ended up draining...

    Purple Comb

    My Black Copper Marran has become lethargic; his comb is purple and bleeding in some areas. The temp has not gotten below 39 degrees Fahrenheit, so I am unsure if it is frostbite. It has always gone through stages where it would get a little bit of purple when he gets excited or stressed, but...

    Rooster with purple comb?

    Hello! It looks like my rooster’s comb is starting to turn purple and his eye looks like it’s changing colors also. He was given to me a week ago in hopes that I could help with his curled toes. He’s acts normal as far as I’ve noticed. Any advice? Please help!

    Purple comb on rooster.

    Any idea why this guy’s comb would be turning purple off and on? Not cold enough for frost bite. Seems normal otherwise. I don’t think it’s an injury.
