I know the girls do groom him, and my OG hens are ALWAYS right there with him so I will try to see how aggressive their preening is. Whatever's going on with him is definitely worse than it was the first time I posted. I inspected him for at least 20 minutes today trying to find anything that...

I looked up depluming mites but he doesn't seem to have any bugs on him, no spots or eggs, just the crusty white 'dandruff and rock clumps of it. Do I just not see it or is it something else? Had my husband take the pictures while I held Crazin; hope they are clear enough.

Not an emergency, but topic best fits this thread since I don't know what this is: I have 14 chickens total, 3 roosters & 11 hens. I check 1-2 chickens rotating, daily for bugs, visual signs of illness or injury. I dont have the time or energy to check all 14 all the time, and don't want to...
