new member needs HELP!!!!!!!

[sonshine silkie]

I have a sizzle roo, and just the other day i realized that his neck was all red!!!! It looks VERY painful and raw!! I thought that it might be mites. So, we went to tractor supply and got permethin (sp?) spray to put on him. We have done DE. and we have cleaned the coop from top to bottom with dawn dish detergent etc.. we have done all of this for over a week and it doesn't seem to be getting any better but worse!!! and more red and irritated than it did when i first saw it!! I would really appreciate any advice!!! Thanks so much!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! You might want to post about him in the Emergencies forum for ideas https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures

Welcome to BYC!

I am sorry about your roo. Could be from aggression and the others are pulling out his feathers. I would start by keeping him in a cage but within the flock for now. But definitely post this in our emergency section for more help. Kelsie has left you with the link.

I hope he gets better soon.
