Featherless Sunburned Chickens, not sure what to do...

[Cinco pollos]

Hello. Someone posted on here that chickens cannot get sunburn. This is not true. Chickens can absolutely get sunburned. Their only protection against sunburn is their feathers. Minus the feathers, they can get sunburns. Chickens have extremely thin and extremely sensitive skin.

The only creature on the planet, I know of that has built in sunscreen, is the hippopotamus. And even they can get a sunburn in the wrong circumstances.

The misinformation posted here about chickens not being capable of sunburn when they are missing their feathers is extremely dangerous. A Chicken with a bald spot is even more likely to sunburn than a human. Their skin is far more sensitive and is normally far more protected than ours is. They have no magical powers against the UV rays of the sun shine.

Care in peace to all.

Hi Sage,
What is your advice about what to do with our featherless-top hens?
