    Red bottoms

    I've noticed a few of my Golden Comets have red bottoms. They are missing feathers and the skin seems irritated. We looked to see if we saw any bugs and didnt notice anything but we did sprinkle DE in the coop just incase. All the hens lay regularly. Free range during the day and eat layena...

    Sad news everyone... she didn't make it. I guess it was too much for her little body to handle. but thank you so much for all the wonderful advice. Hopefully this never happens again but if it does I have so much more knowledge to press on with.

    I'm going to rest as well. That was exhausting! How long do you think it will be until she eats? Poor girl. I will start putting oyster shell in the coop.

    Oh thank you so much for responding so quickly. I'm stopping at the store now to get PrepH and going to keep on working on getting her to feel better. Any suggestions of what/how much food I should be giving her as she hangs out in the house with us and gets better?

    Hi Everyone! Looking for some advice -- Yesterday morning I found my Golden Comet with her head in the corner of the coop being pecked at by her mates. Her bum was covered in thick red blood so I immediately separated her from the flock and started researching -- It appears her vent may have...
