After I made my post a few days ago, my Leghorn produced 2 eggs in 1 day. The swelling has gone down immensely, and it's much less red/irritated looking. Still no feathers on her bum, obviously, but hopefully after her Moult they'll come in.

I just heard back from the breeder/seller. She said "They should be fine!! Most of the leghorns tend to look like that, and they always start looking pretty rough this time of year it seems." If it persists or gets worse, i'll contact her again, as well as my vet.

Hmm.. I just arrived home with 4 new chickens (2 orp pullets, 2 leghorns) and after letting them out into the pen I realized one of my Leghorns has a featherless, swollen mass under her vent. She was taken out of the box to bring to me, so could she just possibly have an egg sitting there...
