This is my first flock, and I am kind of concerned about a pullet I have. I got her about a month ago at Tractor Supply. She had already been treated w/ antibiotics and she's eating and doing very well.
The only problem I have is that her butt feathers are non-existent, and her skin is very red underneath. I've checked her over for mites and fleas/ticks, and have not seen anything.
Is she molting? Or is it a disease? All the other flock are A-OK, with nice feathers coming in.
Pics attached: (sorry bout the poop on her butt..I wanted to take these pics before I wiped her)
