The brown stuff is probably mite poop.

Since you discovered the others have an infestation, it would probably be more economical if you get the Permethrin concentrate and treat them all plus your housing.Tink can’t chirp at all she tries and walk around I’m really worried I was looking at her back feathers and they had brown gunk in them and the feathers came out easily
But she is eating an drinking
She is mite free but she is so ill
Also I was so wrapped up in tinks health that when I went to see the mite situation on the rest of our chickens they were so bad I just about screamed
Our dear six year old Cornish mix Cleo
Had them so bad on her vent
And our strange brain damaged deformed beak Easter egger waggy has so many mites on her vent I could barely see her pink skin
They go for the weak ones don’t they
And our columbian Plymouth Rock bantam Peggy had them all in her bottom feathers
Then I sprayed them with our mite spray
I hope that holds them off why we clean everything so that they don’t become anemic and die
Also tink should be going to our sweet vet tomorrow
All tink wants to do is drink water peck at food and hide under Millie
Then mope around and try to chirp
I couldn’t really get a good picture of the brown stuff in the feather sheaths but it is not good it is make the young feathers fall out
Do you know what it is
I’m feeding them chick starter with warm water
And water with probiotic powder
And scrambled egg

I assume it’s canker?Tink went to the vet yesterday!!
She has a fungal infection somewhere Near her throat and got antibiotics for that and that’s why she can’t chirp
We did a fecal and she still has some coccidia in her feces
Also for her feathers she gets L glutamine sprinkled on her feed
She should get better
Glad you were able to see the vet and get her on the right track. I hope she starts feeling better soon.Tink went to the vet yesterday!!
