lice and mites can be seen with the naked eye. I usually see mites on the head feathers, right at the base of the feather. they are tiny, so look carefully. Lice are also tiny but can also be spotted. give them a good dusting with a tick/flea/lice powder to be sure.
But I agree with the other folks. it looks like there is just some pecking going on.
I checked all over and there are no lice/mites. The roo has a few black spots and 1 creamy white spot. The hen just has a few black spots.
I've narrowed it down to favus or pecking. Anymore opinions on what it might be?
