Help! I have a hen with multiple bald spots in different places. One bald spot is on her chest, one is by her leg, another is on her stomach, and probably more. In one bald spot, there looks to be a single scab or something. Is this just a molt, or is it something more serious. She is about six and a half months old. The rest of the flock seems to be completely fine. She is acting a little lethargic, but has always had that sort of personality. Please help!




This is the bald spot on her chest.

Sad that no one has answered. I have a hen with a bald spot too and was wondering if I should try to treat her with something.

She's also kind of sick so we've separated her from the rest of the hens. I'm thinking she may have been getting picked on. Maybe the feathers will grow back now, but I was wondering if I could get some advice on something to put on the spots to help her to heal.
 
I have one also, she has been getting clump feathers with stuck poo. The exposed skin is red. She makes wet droppings not solid normal looking like the other chickens.

Another chicken has white discharge, so I'm thinking vent gleet for that one, her underside is bald and red also.
