My chicken Juniper's back is red and irritated!!
Hello everybody, my chicken Juniper has been acting normal, but her lower back is red and irritated. She is not molting, even though her back is bald and featherless. We have no roosters in the flock, and the other hens tend to leave her alone and not bully her. She is laying eggs daily and acting perfectly normal. I have checked for mites, but there isn't any, this has been going on for a few weeks now, and I tried to treat it, but it didn't seem to get any better. If anybody has any idea what could be wrong please help!!

We Need more information.
Do you have roosters?
What do you feed your birds?
How big is their coop and run?
For how many birds?
Have you checked for mites?

I'd guess that the red is mostly from the sun. What did you try treating her with?

No roosters, we have checked for mites and there aren't any. never had this issue before. we have 23 birds, and their coop is a good size and run is standard for the amount of chickens that we have. we feed them an organic feed from Costco, along with the occasional greens, cabbage, and mealy worms.

We tried treating her with a silver honey gauze that has worked very well with others in the flock. we also tried dusting her for mites.

It sounds like she's just getting bullied..
Hens can be quite aggressive, have you noticed any bullying behavior?

No, she is new, about 8 months. she was introduced in august along with 15 others. Nobody bullies her.

Has Juniper had this bald spot for a long while? If so then it is probably just her skin reacting to the sun exposure. It's likely not anything that can harm her in the long run, and as for treating it, you might just have to wait until she grows new feathers in. Anyway, I would not be worried for her health unless she starts acting sick.

She has had it for about 2 months, but she continues to act normal. her feathers seem to be growing in, but then they aren't.
