I didn't see it before, but I see it now!

Hopefully, though, that's what it is and you just haven't seen it or they keep it to the coop. Then a higher nutritious/protein diet should stop that and help them grow their feathers back. You said it wasn't all of the chickens with bald butts, so it's most likely the ones lower in the...
