Dried up / shrivelled feathers?

Hi - well I have decided that mine might have been preparing for new growth coming through (although it hasn't been as wet or cold either). She seems to have nice soft 'downy' feathers there now. No sign of creepy crawlies anywhere. Whe did have a bit of a funny tummy at the same time but have wormed them and nothing was visible.

Will just have to put it down as 'one of those things'!

She is a Buff Sussex, have got an ISA and Light Suss too, and an Amberlink cockerel, and a little banty (can never remember what kind).
