One of my chickens has bugs (tiny, little mites. Ick!) and she won't eat. I thought she just wasn't hungry for a while, because she hasn't been eating, but I picked her up and she (once the heaviest) now only weighs about half a pound! And she never preens, not that she ever did I'm really glad I get to write an english essay on my New Favorite Poem (Ulysses by A. Lord Tennyson. I posted a snippet of it here...I could write a whole essay on just that snippet lol). I'm starting to like this AP English thing.GAH now I feel like I'm covered in bugs. Even though I know I'm not (anymore than the usual human being I mean) ::edit:: she'll eat slugs I wonder if she's starting to molt?
