Yesterday I noticed a black circular spot on my Pita Pinta’s back. She is 6.5 months old and lays an egg almost everyday. She’s never slept on the roost like the other chickens. I attached a picture below. I think it’s an infected wound with mites. I think I should dip all my hens and treat them for mites. What do you think?

Do you have a rooster who may have pecked her or pulled feathers? Can you see any moving mites or lice on her skin?
Sorry, I just saw the post about possible maggots. Do you see any maggots in the wound?
