Is this normal? Red cheek.

Is this normal? Is this a mite problem or something? If so, how do I treat? She is Meyer BO and about 15 weeks old. She's had the red spot for about three weeks and it seems to be getting redder/rawer.






One of our barred rocks. Not as bad/red.

It just looks like they are getting ready to lay to me. That's the ear lobe.

Edited to add: If you are concerned about mites, check around their vents really well.

i think it's probably just her ear lobe, it looks pretty normal.

Their feathers and feet appear to be in good shape. I do not see anything that screams mite/lice infestation to me, but I got my online chicken parasitology degree many years ago.
