    I believe you are referring to the wattles? Sometimes it is called a caruncle or dewlap. Not sure what it means though

    =) No, I mean the tiny white things on her feathers. But thanks for the excellent vocabulary review! Such great words.

    When you rub the white things do they come off?

    I'm sorry, couldn't resist the dorky joke. Yes, they very probably do. I've not tried it, but I expect so. =)

    hmmmm, so that means it isn't some form of coloration on the feathers themselves.

    Wonder if it could be some type of mold?

    well, either that hen is molting and her new feathers are still encased in a covering called a quill which tommy the crow would preen constantly as if they were itchy and that would work them off or she's got some chicken form of mealy bugs.
