    Skin infection on Buff?

    We noticed our buff was losing feathers. When we flipped her over, we saw that all the feathers on her abdomen were gone and she had a half inch abscess (see photo). Skin is read. She is not bloated and it does not appear that she has water belly. Could this be thrush?

    Fallen comrade

    this actually happened some time ago. We’ve since come to terms. But i’ve Had the "in memory of" sketch sitting, it had to be completed. I like to think our Orp went out in a blaze of heroism. She was trying to warn us all morning.

    Spots on tail

    My Buff Orpington has spots on a couple of her tail feathers. Is this normal? I don’t think it’s dirt. She’s had them since she started to get her feathers in.
