3 of my 9 chickens are missing some feathers. One is a buff Orpington and the other 2 are silver laced wyandottes. The wyandottes have especially raw skin by their tail feathers. I’ve also noticed these tiny black bugs in the coop, but I haven’t seen any bugs on my chickens. I clean out their coop regularly and tried spreading some 7 dust under their bedding (I got that tip from someone else) but they keep coming back! Literally the day after I clean them out. Any suggestions on how to help my girls? It looks super uncomfortable for them. I also have 3 ducks and a goose that are not affected.
