I have just noticed that some of my hens seem itchy. I can’t see bugs on them, but there are feathers under where they roost.
does anyone have any idea ofwhat this could be and how to treat just General bugs that could be bothering them?
 
At night while they are roosting, look at their skin around the vents, necks, and under wings, with a flashlight or head lamp. Mites are very tiny but moving dark specks, and lice are larger and also moving.
Treat everyone if even one birds has them, and clean out the bedding, and spray the entire coop too.
Molting is also irritating, could be about that.
