    HELP! Red, hot inflamed breast and vent area on 1.5 yr old Australorp.

    Yea, it is a feather plucking, and thats not an inflamed skin, the skin coloration is just like that, usually the area of the head, breast, and the tip of the wings is more redder but thats also depending on the breed, like the featherless chicken, they have a very red skin all over.

    Hen Or Roo?

    Actually it is easier if you spot it at the first few days of hatch, since female tend to grow their feather faster than males, males had a shorter rounder feather, usually messier than females.
