What is this?

[SandiBrahma]

We are treating all our girls for worms because we saw some and we also see missing feathers, bald spots with sores what do we treat for mites, lice....or is this from worms? We picked up every girl and don’t see mites or lice, but can’t imagine all of this from worms. Help please.
what do you use to treat?

Can you post a photo of the sores? What sized run/coop nada who many birds? Dimensions if possible. Do you have a rooster? If you do, does he have the same bald spots/sores?

No roo we have eleven ladies in one house and four in another. This is the eleven ladies house.

Could they be picking each other out of boredom or low protein?

We have five square per chicken

Coop, run, or both? Any boredom busters? (things to hide around, peck at, etc) Any bullies? What percent protein is the feed? Can you post photos of their setup?

We saw some of them after we culled a very bad Rooster. I’m wondering if it’s mites, lice...or related to the worms, which we are treating for. I make fermented feed, give mealworms, oyster shells and other healthy treats. five square ft per chicken just in the run. run is 280 sq. Foot. The house is four by eight 32 square ft

Do both the coops connect to the same run? 5 feet in the run is, in my opinion, too small. My birds have 50 feet each in the run. General guideline is 10 feet, more if your having issues.

Photos of your setup?

What is the percent of protein in the feed? 16%? 18%? 20%? More? Less?
