Hi! I’m a newer chicken owner.
My Lavendar orpington was getting pecked by the other chicks and itching a lot so I isolated her. She’s not as feathered as the other chicks and is a little bit smaller. She is having tons of black specks fall off of her (attaching picture) but I’m not seeing any bugs. Her skin is red under her wings.
Was acting more tired than the other chicks. Pooping normal, eating normal (have her on 20% protein starter). I don’t see her drinking much but added vitamins to her water. I put her on heat as optional. I put hen healer lotion on her skin as it was red. I treat the coop and run with lime. I’m trying to figure out if this could be bugs, moulting or something I’m missing. We just got her last week.
