Jan 24, 2010 #1 mirime Songster 11 Years May 23, 2008 135 0 111 NE Ohio My SS is finally laying but I noticed this morning that she has a bare butt/vent area. It's not that red, but I'm concerned. None of my other hens (four) have a bare butt. They're all about 7 months old. Any suggestions/thoughts? Thanks!

But like I said my girl was just playing with going Broody..Good Luck
