Help! 5 out of 9 of my hens have severely red irritated skin & are losing feathers around their vents & legs. One has it on her chest. I don’t see any mites or bugs anywhere. Coop is very clean. They have an outdoor run. Please help

:welcome The 4 hens that are in good feather are very likely feather plucking the others. It's a bad habit that frequently starts in the winter when they are crowded.

Thank you for your reply. Much appreciated. We put the sunglasses on them months ago as I noticed them plucking each other. Any suggestions on how to stop this? Desperate for answers, so frustrating.
