Hi all, chicken is a 2 year old rhode island red. We noticed today that she was missing some feathers and that she has scratch marks and irritated skin on her breast/ underside area. She is near the top of the pecking order and has been living with the other chickens for about 6 months now with no issues on her end. They have a sand bath that she frequents and I normally spray their coop after cleaning with a chicken specific insecticide (I recently ran out and haven't been able to get more yet). None of the other chickens have the same issue she is having. I just want to get other opinions to see if mites or lice was the general consensus and that I'm not missing any other issue here as I don't have any experience with lice/ mites! Pictures of the chicken's problem areas are attached.
