The new ones? I'm not sure. Not home to tell you. They probably aren't because my humidity is really high. They'll dry off under the heat lamp.
I'll take pics tonight

I dont mind them being dirty XD I handfed cockatiels. I know how dirty little faces and chests can get. I had to feed them formula which is even dirtier

I couldn't get a video of my sick Orp walking, but I can say she walks slowly (unless I'm trying to catch her).



You can see her eyes and nose are clear, and you can get an idea of her comb and wattle development:



Even though its clear she feels rotten, she enjoyed the bath very much!



No poops in the crate she is currently residing in, but there are some wet spots - liquid is passing through but nothing else yet. I gave her some olive oil and yogurt earlier - shot it into her beak. Just before the bath, I put olive oil into her vent. I can't feel anything (like an egg) in there when I palpate her.

This morning the older rooster chased her away from the flock. Bad sign... good roo.

Oh - and she has lost weight. I could really tell when I picked her up (she's very hard to catch but I got lucky this morning). You can see her keel in this picture:

Could she have worms but not be responding to your methods?

It does not look good.
