Bald Butts, why? (pics)

[luvmybuff]

I treated my girl right away and I have had her for about 4 months now and it has not changed the hen house has been checked and treated also and still she is bald. She was like that when I bought her and have never changed I first thought she was shaved or something so I have no clue. She is not sick in any way and my hens are checked frequently for mites in and out of the building because I live in the country. If anyone has a clue I would love to hear more on this.

A few of my hens are the same. I think it's a molt. I haven't noticed it as much lately, so I think it will get better? I hope.

Have they been this way for a long time? Did they ahve pasty butt as a chick? Are they broody? Do they have runny discharge at all from the vent? and I forgot, how old are they? Are they laying?

I had 3 girls who always had bald butts. I occasionally saw a little pecking, but nothing major. Then, one day the queen of the roost died. Two months later the other two had their feathers back. I've had no issues since then.
