    Are these mites on her face?

    Runny poop and lethargic

    Oh gracious! We have a lovely 8 month old Buff Orpington that has nasty, runny poop. The first one was yesterday morning. My husband described it as "an egg without a shell". She seemed fine yesterday but today is lethargic. I don't know if she is eating but I suspect she isn't since there...
