Are you in the US?We have had a busy week. I went out to do my weekly chores with our chickens and noticed this. I am feeling terrible for not noticing it all week! This is a one year old Buff Orpington. Any ideas on what this is and how to treat it?

If it came off that easily then it may just be the dirt.Okay I will look into the mites treatment. Our chickens are very gentle. She let me give her a warm water bath. I think the darkness on her feathers was dirt because it just rinsed away. This is the after bath picture.
I believe permethrin should be reapplied a week after the first time.Thank you everyone for your feedback. We cleaned our hen up with the bath first. Then we purchased permethrin to apply to their coop. We will continue monitoring our girls. Will we need to reapply the permethrin?
