Can somebody tell me the cure for these chick?

There is a mite that causes such issues, if I see the photo correctly.

Probably yes. Look at the bottoms of his feet, they should be yellow. Looks fairly young.

OK, this isn't the best pic, this guys feet were pretty muddy, and I had to wash his feet for the pic, and he didn't really feel real cooperative. Generally, JGs will have yellowish feet, while australorps will have white feet. JGs will also have very dark, almost black, eyes.

Another thing to check out is the beak. Standard bred Australorps will have a black beak, while a JGs beak should be black, shading to yellow at the tip. Anybody having an Australorp roo should jump in here and post a pic of his feet.

Tonight I'll post a photo of my JG chick and Australorp chick. Hard to tell apart.

My Marans, Dominiques and other chickens are all laying gangbuster, but my JGs are not laying an egg. What could be the problem?

Here's a photo of Jersey Giant Feet.







Not top of the line Jerseys but the yellow is unmistakable on the bottom of the feet.
