Chicken boarders

[chickiepiggies]

One of my chickens has quite dry flaky skin around the bum area in and around her feathers, i cant see any sign of lice/mites etc.

 

she had them a few weeks ago but all cleared up none of the others have it. i've sprayed her with johnsons anti mite spray this morning just to be sure.

 

will post a pic later.

 

all recently been wormed

 

Any ideas

 

Also meant to mention, all four of my chickens seem to going to bed with empty crops, they are on mash and have pellets also 2 feeders. they have a cabbage hanging up and get mash porridge in the morning they moan if they don't get this.

Little snowy seems really light but pecks around as normal she an amber but in a previous post some one mention that it there breed.

are they waiting for treats? and access to free range in the garden, i do spoil them a bit, the exbats are not laying but the young ones are. should i stop the treats and free ranging for a bit?

Probably just dry skin; so long as the critters have all gone, I wouldn't worry too much.

I would. It can make quite a difference.
