Well here they are! Took them a little while to figure out the heating pad but now they're all settled down for the night. One has pasty butt but I figured out how to clean her up! And the best part is my husband is hooked; he loves the chicks

I'm pretty sure it is my bielefelder I should have paid more attention when getting them... I was so excited I didn't think about trying to remember which pattern was which

My guess is Wyandotte. Bieles are brown striped chicks. The browns could also be Easter Egger if puffy cheeks.

Either way, they're all so cute!

Perhaps vent gleet?

Well frontline doesn't look like something to use for mites, lice.

I was thinking after I posted that you said skunk... So that's grey so yes it's a wyandotte. My brown "chipmunk" is a bielefelder I'm learning!

That looks like a northern fowl mite to me. If you have to magnify it that much I can't believe it is a tick.
I think the mites are especially bad this year for some reason. They are especially opportunistic on injured or sick chickens, they were covering my Brahma who was pretty ill a short while ago.

From what I see it looks like northern fowl mite. Gave flock B a permethrin shower. Injured hen is by far the worst.

Using this. Just a clean garden sprayer. I wanted to do bath but just too complicated. I'll do it all again next weekend.

If this doesn't work DW found a post by @casportpony where they just syringe ivermectin into the mouth.
