We've had chickens for over a year now (raised them when they were chicks) I had another account named: Chickenlovr but I haven't gotten on to this place since forever so I guess it logged me off and I never saved the password I was sent.
But anyhoo,
My chicken has a featherless, pink, chicken skinned butt.
Pictures:
We thought she might be pecking them (as I've read) but she has so much to do to keep her from doing this. We let them out everyday, they have a huge coop:
We give them treats, feed them, clean water, etc.
Maybe it was the bedding were using for the nesting box and maybe she was alergic to it. So we changed it from hay (heard some rumors about it anyway) to just regular bedding that each chicken uses and she's the only one getting the featherless rump.
She's very high on the pecking order (she chases us and stares us down, pecks the other chickens occasionally[very occasionally]. She's slow though from a sickness she had when she was young [treated]) So we don't think the other chickens are pecking them out.
She's had it for awhile and I can't seem to find a lot about it (am I not searching the right words?) and it doesn't seem to bother her from what we can tell.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
