    3 areas on hens back without feathers and is red

    These areas are about as big as a 50 cent piece. They are red and all feathers are gone. Have been this way 6 weeks. Have treated with diatomaceous earth, topical antibiotic, Prometheus, Vaseline. Nothing seems to help. Hen does not act sick in any way
