    2 chickens with reddened skin

    I have 2 chickens out of 7 that have redness under their feathers near their butt. One has redness on top. What kind of ointment would work well in reducing the swelling and the redness? Would calendula or neem and lavender work or manuka honey or aloe. I have tried the honey not working.
