Bottom Issues

[Owlalwaysbeme]

Hello, I was wondering if I could get some ideas or tips on what the issue could be or what maybe I should do differently…I have two hens out of my current flock of 14 have missing feathers from just below their vents…. both of the vents look healthy and normal. I also did a close inspection using a flashlight and was not able to notice anything such as mites or lice. I have been treating the past week with warm Epson salt and Banxx Chick spray. Other than the issues below the vent, both chickens seem to be acting completely normal. I have attached pictures below don’t mind the wet feather has they both were recently soaked in Epsom salt baths. Thank you

It could be feather picking. Is either area under the vent enlarged from fluid/water belly or a reproductive disorder such as internal laying/salpingitis? Are they overcrowded at all, are they getting out to free range, and what do you feed?

Yes they free range when I’m home and I am currently feeding them Non- GMO Kalmbach layer feed nothing looks around the vent looks swollen with any discharge and I have not noticed any reduction in eggs being layed.
