My rooster (a handsome young man) is overmating with my chickens. He is on vacation-perhaps permanently- at a neighbors. Several of his favorites have lost all feathers on their backs. One looks particularly red--like sunburn-but has no open sores. Can I use hydrocortisone cream topically to decrease irritation? It is not infected, just very red.
