What's wrong with this picture?

I have not. Would they just show up in the droppings? I have a closed flock.

I'm really not sure.

Do you have a vet that could do a fecal ? doesn't have to be an avian vet to do one.
My main problem is roundworms here.When I see them in their poo,it's time to worm. I use Wazine or Piperazine (sp?) I have not had any success using DE for worms.

Glad to know it. I wonder if it was just the sudden change? I mean, one day it's in the 30's, then the next it's 80? That has to be crazy if you're a chicken, right?

I imagine the weather there has been similar to GA, I honestly think it is not so much the change but the fact that the changes have been drastic, since Friday it has been in the mid to high 70's and now tomorrow it will cool off again. I am hoping that since it is only getting midly cold, my girls will hang in there.

I agree. It has been so nice here but it went from very cold one day to 'break out the shorts' the next day. and now tomorrow and several days after that, cold again, then warm back up this weekend. It's makes everyone in my house crazy (and usually sick) so i can only imagine what the poor ladies are thinkin!
