9 yrs old? I wonder if age has anything to do with it. Like, perhaps he's developing a skin condition? Can you peal any of it off? I had a Silkie who lost a patch skin with the feathers still on it. Nothing bled and I couldn't find an injury. It was weird and made no sense, but I'm questioning if your Silkie is got something similar going on.I do not see any lice or mites. No predator attacks. No blood noticed. He is the only rooster, and advanced in age (about 9 yrs old). He is in a flock with 6 standard size hens who have 2 attached runs of 50 ft sq and 312 ft sq.
looks like a fungal infection but once u check for lice i see bad skin texture in lice too i use Butox vet 1% solution in water bath them it works so fastJust noticed it the other day. His behavior has been a little "off" and i saw that he had lost his feathers around his neck/ear area. See pictures. It's very dry and crusty.

Can you please take some clear, close up well lit photos and post them full size so we can magnify them?I do not see any lice or mites. No predator attacks. No blood noticed.
