Mites could definitely explain why her feathers are such a mess.

The crop is an off center lump on the bird's chest. You can feel it by running your hand over their chests after they've just eaten or if they have impacted crop.

Yeah, our other three hens have smooth, silky feathers but hers are all rough and some are ripped.

Oh, that thing is the crop? Feathers has always had a huge crop. She's usually the greediest living thing on the planet.

In that case, mites might not be the problem. It's worth checking for them, though.

If her crop is huge now, her problem might be impacted crop. It shouldn't be very big at all if she hasn't been eating lately.

Human Video is a bit like a cross between dancing and acting. Usually you do a Christian praise song. You listen to the song, and put together actions to go with the words. Here's some videos:

I got to do one like this with my firat teachre, and it was EPIC.

That sounds great. I am not an acting person (hence why I picked Art for my elective instead of Drama) but I did the Yea 8/9 musical last year, which was absolutely EPIC too. I loved it! It wasn't something I'd usually do at all.

We did something more like this last semester:

NOTE: I DESPISE this version of the song! I'm sure Mark Hall was shocked.

Yeah, she's always been a 'different' one. She's orange, while the other hens are red, and she's fatter rather than long like the others.

Perhaps. I'll have to check when I get home

But we think it might be that the molting is doing something to her, because she was fine before she started losing feathers.

I can't watch youtube

What song is it? I might know it.

Who Am I, by Casting Crowns. The one on the video is some fast paced versin sung by a girl. It really took away the quiet beauty of the song.

Losing feathers could be a symptom of her problem, or molting might be the source of her problem. Checking her when you get home is probably the only way to know for sure.

Yes, I shall, I shall have a look at her crop. Hopefully nothing will be drastically wrong!

I hate it when they do that to songs! Even some pop songs I like that are slower and a bit nicer, they 'remix' and it comes out terrible.

Impacted crop can be cured, mites can be destroyed (usually), and molts come to an end sooner or later. Hopefully she'll be okay.

I'm glad that's the case. Life would be really weird without Feathers. She is my favourite.
