New helicopter chicken mom herešŸ˜‚.
Dolly, one of my four buff Orpingtons, is a little different than her sisters. She’s about nine weeks old, has yellow legs, longer tail feathers which now have what looks like black mold on her tail. I thoroughly inspected her feathers and skin and did not see any mites on her. I researched others posts and it looks like this could be ā€œsmudgingā€ markings, but it just seems so dark. This is something I need to treat?
