Bugs on hen...I have a hen who is losing feathers like crazy. She molted back in the spring but now looks like a yard full of feathers. Today I found these bugs on her.

Thanks! I'm excited I got a pullet. Will a bantam rooster crow as loud as a standard size rooster? I live in a subdivision and have these as pets. I don't want to make my neighbors angry. My hens aren't quite. They are always telling the others when they lay so some noise is ok. Just don't want...
Thank you! Oh ok! They seem to be smaller than other baby chicks I have had in the past at 4:5 weeks. The woman I bought them from said they were standard size. Do you think that is correct? Do they just grow slower/thinner than other chicks?
