Anybody seen this before?

She's well taken care of on any parasites, always has been. Just did another round of worming too, no evidence of anything. Ear canals clean as a whistle too. We regularly clean and bathe her especially around the vent as she had a serious matted nest of old dried mite egg sacs clumped all around her rear. She's almost spotless now after months of regular care. We have Seven and I think we used it on all the birds back in May but I'm not sure we are going to use it again. Will have to look into Scarlet Oil though, thanks for the rec. Been keeping vaseline on her legs otherwise. She loved being pampered for a while, sleeping inside, hand fed, etc.

Also, her coloring IS odd because she's filthy right now! One of the first things she did (over and over) after we let her back outside was take her dirt baths, her filthy filthy dirt baths. That yellow is probably a mix of dust and vaseline from her comb/waddles...

Don't take too good of care of her, especially when new feathers come in. Regular baths strip off their oils and can make feathers brittle. When I was a kid, I gave my buff silkie roo weekly baths so I could play with him inside post moving him outside.... after about 3 months his feathers were falling apart while his girls were much glossier despite being dusted with dirt, not to mention my mom got tired of me leaving the laundry room sink full of feather/poop/dirt bits.
