Floppy comb..
« on: July 03, 2013, 09:18:58 pm »
can I deduce anything from  a floppy comb?  Nice and red, totally normal young light sussex running around with her sisters, but hers is floppy.  I don't routinely worm and do cider vinegar in drinking water. Cheers, Fi xx

Hi, there is a thread below "Little Miss Droopy Comb" about my ex battery hen with the same issue.  Lots of helpful advice on there :)

Some develop a floppy comb as the breed is supposed to. Perhaps the light sussex has some Leghorn in her?
