Hen not roosting

[aart]

Just went out to look at her to get a picture and noticed this!!! My skin is CRAWLING. She has some mite crawling on her and I’m SO grossed out! HELP. I want to get this cleared up NOW.

I'm not seeing any bugs there.....but a lot of new pin feathers growing in.
So molting might be her problem.

There is no bugs in the photo but I saw lots of mites especially near the base of her tail. Also when she gets wet outdoors, her rump area looks disgusting. I know they all roll in the dirt for parasite control, but none of my other birds look as gross as she does.
The grayish “dirt” near her tail is packed thick and mites crawl around it. I will try to get a photo tomorrow. I don’t want to touch the girls after their treatment today. I just got feeling clean again

I picked up my chickens and set them on the roost in the evening until they got the hang of it. If she's missing her feathers then they should grow back.

Some birds are more susceptible to parasite infestation.
Dust bathing helps but certainly doesn't always prevent it.
Did you do some googling to positively ID the mites?
Some mites require treating the coop(all the cracks and crevices).
The Gordons should help pretty quick, but may need follow up.
