I have a copper Maran hen that has had a bald underbelly since April. I have checked for mites. Up til today she was eating and drinking fine. She has continued to lay, but her eggs are getting soft. About 3 weeks ago I soaked her in epsom salts as her exposed skin is red. I soaked her again today and will check for mites again. There are 2 other hens with her and they have been fine. I feed them 20% feed, scratch, meal worms and occasionally sunflower seeds. Any ideas of what we could be dealing with. I am new to chickens.
