See attached photo. There is a pinkish lump near the vent and now has a white scaly covering. On further examination, there is another lump just north of this one but it is all skin colored. Another lump below this one appears to be a bone in the skin...maybe hip socket? She acts pretty normal but has always been smallest, breathes a little harder and sometimes gets picked on. I put a homemade herbal antibacterial salve on the area this morning. Any ideas what could be going on? She doesn't act like they hurt. Thanks!
 
I see some green bruising, so likely this is injury from being picked at/pinched.

How much space do you have?

You mention you separated them out before, what was the reason?
I have 14 hens in a little over 400 sq ft in the run and about 60 sq ft in the hen house. I had 3 separated a few weeks ago due to runny poo/diarrhea. They spend most time in the shaded 100 sq ft of the run.
 
So sad and crying my eyes out. My little Henrietta died from blood loss when that blister broke. I was watching her closely but my husband insisted I had to go help with something else. When I came back in less than 2 hours, it was too late. So heart broken. My favorite girl.
