Hi All! I'm new to this and need some help!...ahhh!
My black Silkie is having some feather issues. Her feathers on her crest look like whitish sticks or spikes. When I first got her a few months ago she only had a few now it's all over. I have searched the Internet and can't find any other issues like this. Is she molting? I'm afraid it's a disease. I use poultry protector on her, keep my coop super clean, and use DE frequently...could it be lice or mites? I don't really see any on her.
Here are a few pics.... (the best I could get, sorry)
Thank you for your help!
