Hens belly is inflamed and won’t resolve

[sarahconnor]

I have a laying hen named Pancake and her feathers won’t regrow on her belly and the skin is red. She doesn’t seem to be at all uncomfortable she eats drinks ranges just like all the other birds.
Been spraying it periodically with gensian purple.

Does she lay down a lot?

She doesn’t seem too.

It's not too uncommon for laying hens to be bare underneath. It does looks like she's getting some new feathers in.
She may be rubbing that area bare on the roosting bars at night.
I would go out at night and check to make sure there's no lice/mites and watch the bare spot for indication of breast blister. Applying the BluKote is fine here and there.
If she's eating/drinking and active - then see how it goes.

Great ideas! Many thanks!!
