    High Stepping Chicken, Scaly Mites? Pictures Attached

    Hi All- I have a cream legbar, almost two years old, that over the last two weeks has started high stepping when walking. She doesn't run anymore, and when she does she loses balance.

    Red, Dry Skin, Feather Loss, Frayed Fathers, Large and very warm crop

    I checked the crop this morning, and it went down slightly. I don't feel the food it anymore, but it is still big and squishy. But she is still eating and drinking and acting normal. As for perching she is usually out and about and not really sitting one place for a long period of time except...

    Crop filled with sand

    Impacted Crop - Size of a baseball
