I just adopted 2 wynadotte hens which i was told are both laying and are about 6 months old. Okay the problem is that one of the hens has a bald strip across her back which I was told was the result of an overly aggressive rooster which I can understand, the other issue is that the whole area around her bottom up to her tail feathers is also bald. This area is also red my question is should i put some thing on it to prevent pecking from other birds like Blu-Kote. I have the new hens isolated until i get them cleaned up. My second question is can I give them a bath they are filthy the came from a run that was a hard dirt floor and have poop stuck to their feather. I want them to be clean and debugged before i introduce them to my flock. Thanks for any suggestions
