These are pics of my 1 yr old Buff Orpington, Oprah. Several of my 18 birds have this browish looking dusty stuff at the base of their tails, but no place else that I can see. I find no evidence of mites in the coop anywhere and I have removed all the roosts, droppings board & deep-cleaned it, then treated the birds & coop w/ Sevin Dust to no visible improvement in the girls.
Can members with mite knowledge and experience with an infestation tell me whether these are mites or something else please? Thanks!
This hen is molting hard right now (you can see the new feathers emerging):
This is the area at the base of her tail:
This is the area below her vent:
