    Our one chicken who was having the prolasp thing is now getting her butt feathers pecked at by our leghorns. She now has a bald red butt! What can I do to keep them from doing this??

    That's such a Leghorn Thang!!![​IMG]
    When Obelisk was doing that with Slifer, I'd put BlueKote/Wound Kote on it and Better Bitters too. That would keep her from eating Slifer's bum feathers.
