What is wrong with my friend's chickens?!?!!?! They are only a year old. I had him dust them and redust about a month ago with permethrin. But they still look awful. The flock he had before this looked that bad too, but he culled them all when he got these new ones last year. Could it be they just have had lice or mites so bad that their feathers won't grow back? Maybe they need to molt first? But the skin is so irritated! I don't know about a bully. Every hen seems to have it. The speckled sussexes are the least affected, but still have it. The cuckoo marans and black sex link are the worst, and the Buff has a little. So I don't know about a bully. Anyways, thoughts? Space is adequate for them all.
