Hello! I am seeing white flakes on top of my chickens feathers. They are like dander. They can be softly blown off, knocked off when you touch/pet them. I took some pictures of the flakes, skin, feather shaft and vent. Also, she has some white dots around her eye but they cannot be rubbed off so wondering if it has something to do with the actual feather. We just did coop clean outs and there was no signs of mites or anything like that. Does anyone have thoughts about this? Should I be worried about infestations? Everyone is eating, drinking and foraging as normal.
The last pic is of our newest addition. She is part of a flock of three and all are healthy in appearance but when I pulled back this girls feathers that is what I found. Thanks for any input offered!
