Raw Skin On Chest

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

My very large Australorp rooster has what looks like an abrasive injury on his chest.  He has not been fighting, so the only cause I can think of is his roosting 2x2.  This morning it looked very raw and was larger than it was yesterday.  He has an area about 3" square without feathers, and a raw area about 1" square within the bare surface.

 

How should I treat this?  Usually I don't worry about such things, but he is one of my favorite roosters.

We just noticed something sounding just like this on our Australorp hen. Any ideas? Thank you.
