So, we just introduced 2 new hens to our flock. One a Rhode Island Red and the other a Bantam Silkie. We got them from this guy, and they didn’t look bad. When they met the other chickens, they started acting a bit funky. Sooner or later, the whole flock was sneezing and wheezing and sick! Our black Bantam Rooster almost died! Anyways, we solved the issue and cared for their sickness, it was an upper respiratory issue. Unfortunately, our new Rhode Island Red hen died, as well as our 5 month old grey Bantam hen. Not until recently though have I begun to notice that my chickens skin is dry and has tiny specks and damaged feathers. I will list 3 pictures of 2 Rhode Island Red rooster and hen, and a grey Bantam Brahma. I am very concerned and am not sure what is wrong with them. I don’t think it’s mites or lice. We also regularly rub diatomaceous earth on them and mix it with their food as well. Please someone get back to me ASAP!
