    that's what I was thinking. And I need to clean the coop - since everything is drying up in the heat I'm not too worried about spread if there were worms. it's just a texas summer.

    it may be. whatever it is doesn't seem to be getting worse and may resolve itself in time, i spread feed dishes around the run to reduce competition and pecking. and will see how this goes. i may try the coconut oil again if I get a chance to catch her.
