Hello! I noticed some of my hens feathers and hair on their heads not looking right. It started with some of my silkies, and now I am noticing it on some of my other breeds of chickens. So, I bought premo poultry spray for mites assuming mites is the issue. For anyone who has used this before, did you spray the chickens directly as well as the coop, just the chickens, or just the coop, & how many times a week did you treat for the mites, and how long should I do the treatment for? Any advice is appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Are you sure they're not getting picked? Topknots tend to get picked easily.
My silkies are in a separate coop than my other hens, & their hair, feathers, even the feathers on their wings just are not looking right. Some of my other hens are missing patches on their backs but the hair on their heads doesn’t look right either. It looks like more than being picked on by other chickens. I’ll have to add some pics on here when I get home. I recently lost a couple silkies & another chicken too so I’ve given them all nutridrench, dewormed them, & am treating for mites.

Can you get pictures, please? That mite spray is not likely to work effectively.
 
My “regular” chickens which are in one coop aka not the silkies lol

& my silkies which are in their own coop, the last two pics I included pics with a couple regular fluffy ones which they were all fluffy like at one point, the last pic is a new one we just got two days ago who is still young. But they were all fluffy before, idk what’s going on.
