I’ve attached a photo of Miss Fluff. As you can see, she has whiskers, not feathers. When she molted last fall, she had worms and mites.

Yes. I feel like a horrible parent.

She was outside with the other chickens and I noticed her legs were badly sunburned.

What sunscreen is safe for chickens?

Can I just use the spray stuff or does it need to be all mineral?

Or is she an indoor chicken until she molts again

Just give her plenty of shade.
Any sunscreen is bad for her, Mineral sunscreens are zinc and zinc plays havoc with the reproductive system
