I am in North Carolina. It still in the 60s-70s around here. We looked at the 3 today and it looks like some new feathers are coming in. Should we treat for parasites just in case?
I noticed one of my easter eggers losing feathers well now its all three EEs. Their coup, nest and run are all treated heavily with DE, have been since the beginning. When I noticed I treated them directly with it but nothing has gotten better. What can I do? What is it? Please help!

They were just talking about Easter eggers. I am in Facebook jail so I couldn't question their statements. I looked online and most disagreed, I just wanted to know from people who really seem to know chickens. I do not know anyone personally who has EE.
I was very sad to have to rehome my roo, so chicken math took over and I got 2 to replace him.
Just wanted to share my new blue Barred rock and my blue wyandotte 6 weeks old.
