Might be mites?

Hello everyone!
While doing my daily checkup on my chickens I noticed that my two year old light blue Andalusian hen had a weird spot of matted down feathers on her head! Thanks for the help! Also she gets pecked on by others chickens because she is a bully that gets bullied! Lol

Check around her vent. They like to stay around that area.

See that white area on the wattle? Mine has that--is it something that needs to be corrected? Ditto on the mites. Better to catch it early, as you are, since you're checking them regularly.

Ok will do

I'm not sure about the white area on the wattle and in worried about that myself, I'll do more research!

After checking her vent I didn't notice any visible mites! Is it possible that I can't see them? Would it be best if I dust all the chickens just in case?

Isn't that just a white earlobe?

Isn't that just a white earlobe?

After looking at pictures of her and other chickens I think so
