Long story short, my Belgian D’Uccle rooster Simon had a bad case of the mites in his hackle feathers. I bathed him thoroughly & treated him with Ivermectin & Elector PSP. I am no stranger to mites.
Where the mites were there is all sorts of what looks to be brown dead skin peeling off...
I love this chick but it’s huge & starting to get pink in the comb. Dad was a BCM, mama could be Ameraucana or multi-gen Olive/easter Egger. It’s just about 5 weeks old. Think I’ve got a boy? Also, is this considered a cuckoo or barred chick?
Sorry for the sub-par photos, the growouts...
Here are some updated pics! Feta’s comb is much larger than Cheddar’s, but they have different mamas with different comb types.
Any guesses? I’m worried about Feta’s comb.
