In the Brooder
About a month ago I lost a year old hen from what I thought was lice/mites. I dusted her when I saw the bugs on her vent, completely cleaned and dusted the coop and dusted the flock with stuff recommended from farm and ranch store. I thought all was well, but this morning another one died, a four year old, and my best layer. I do not see evidence of any bugs this time. I am afraid I"ll lose my entire flock. It's been an exceptionally harsh winter, so they haven't been outside much. There is no coughing, discharge, etc. Does anybody have any thoughts to what this could be, or what to do to save my flock?
Edited to add: I just checked my flock and they are losing their breast and neck feathers, but I didn't see any bugs.
