My chicken has an illness that has been spreading over my flock.
Here is the one that has started the illness:

Here is one that has NOT yet gotten the illness:

Could someone help me figure this out?
 
The sick ones get pecked a lot and makes a honking sound instead of clucking.Also while the others go in the coop the one in the picture refuses and limps away so i have to grab her.
 
How many chickens do you have... I see some white areas on the comb & face of the top pic. Is she younger than the others or are the white areas part of her "illness."
 
She is the same age as the others and the white on her face and comb are part of her illness. Hope it is not anything serious.

Look VERY closely at her comb & the base of her feathers. Those look like they may be mites or lice eggs. If they are you need to dust everyone & everything with Sevin Dust or treat everyone with Ivermec.
