After buying a large amount of all female barred rock, we invited over some people to buy up extras. We were told by a lady that just by picking them up and flipping them over she could tell they were all roosters. Despite the fact that they were guaranteed pullets.
Thx for the help guys, I will take a picture tomorrow before we bathe and after I am done cleaning them up. I will hold off on the DE as I heard something similar before but was unsure.

Your brahmas must be digging alot then. If its something other then lice it would be a bug eater with jaws like that. Unless, its a chewing louse. Either way, DE or Ivermectin will kill them.
Yes, put it in a baby powder bottle and puff it under both wings, on the vent and on the neck near the shoulders. Another treatment is to pick up ivermectin. Its a pesticide you mix 1 part to 2 parts water. Paint it in the same areas with a small paintbrush. Repeat treatment exactly 11 days...
Aha, I have this on a few chicks I got. Bubbly eyes, crusty nasals, mouth breathing that looks like yawning and occasionally one puffy eye. General lethargy, usually the chicks get better after a few days though. I am treating with Vet RX and picking up meds tomorrow.
I have Americuanas and will be breeding some easter eggers this spring. I will have some barnyards from my incubator test run in about two weeks as well.
