Poultry are prey animals, so they like to hide when they're sick!

One way to do a quick check of your flock it to look at the colour and size of their comb. Watch for:

➡️colour changes (blue, paleness)
➡️size changes (shrivelled small combs)
➡️texture changes (scabs from fowl pox, white fungal growths)
➡️swellings (infections or tumours)
➡️nasal discharge (respiratory infections)
