Any ideas?
I am thinking something serious,please someone tell me it isn`t.
Thanks Keith

As leghorns stop laying which your birds are likely to be be getting to
this time of year, their comb will shrink.
The lots of feathers indicate that moult is in progress.

Oh Good ,i thought it was the moult ,but was worried about the comb.Did
not know the comb shrunk in the moult.
Thanks Jill for the quick response.

Its always a good idea to worm at this time of year as well as a thorough
mite and lice check/treatment
That way any parasite load will not be taken into the winter.
