Okay, I feel like I've been posting a million questions lately, but I have more, so I'm gonna throw them both in here and see what advice comes from it.
One.
Will blueberries make my Silkie girls' poop darker than normal? I gave them a handful yesterday and today, there's poop in the coop that looks completely healthy, except it's super, super dark. It's not runny or anything. Just really dark. I did take a picture.
Two.
One of my girls is favoring one foot. I noticed it Monday, and I've looked at her foot a couple of times. I don't see any evidence of bumble foot or other injury. She's not the most graceful bird and she's still getting used to using the ramp - and by getting used to it, I mean she takes three steps down and then "flies" off the rest of the way. I'm thinking she might have just twisted it, but I'm not sure. Someone said it could be her nails - they look fine to me, but I don't know how long is too long. They're straight, not curling in to her foot or anything, but I'm curious. Should I call the vet to have her foot looked at? Should I give it a week and see what happens?
