HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ChickenMomma2019]

My Rhode Island Red is missing a bunch of her stomach feathers and the skin underneath is bright red. She also isn’t acting as perky as she usually is. She isn’t a brooder, is at the top of the pecking order and this just recently started happening. WHAT SHOULD I DO!?!??! Does she need to go to the vet? I need help!

Does she have any other symptoms? How about mites? Is she still laying normally?

(Also I just posted my own issue with a RIR with missing feathers, but probably a whole other different reason than yours.)

I’m not sure about laying, we have 4 chickens but recently we have been getting only 3 eggs. She usually is the type of chicken to be all over you but when I try and pick her up she just runs away. Also I live in Missouri so this might be related to the constant changing weather

Pictures? I'm not a vet but I might be able to help a bit.

Well, if there's no visable wound I would assume she's okay. My rooster picked a fight with the turkey and lost some tail feathers. He's walking around with a red bottom right now.

I'm not a vet but have a couple of questions. Is her abdomen swollen along with the redness? Doses she have poopy butt? Is she rubbing her underside on the roost at night?

Photos would be helpful.

Check her for lice/mites.
Has she been laying eggs?

I do not believe she is laying
