I have a Silver Laced Wyandotte that has a large patch of bare skin due to overmating from my roosters. The roosters have since been rehomed, but am wondering what, if anything, I can do for her. Is there any kind of ointment or lotion I can use? Her skin looks so red and irritated and I feel so bad for her :(
 
I always use bag balm on everything. It is kind of like the neosporin of the animal world however, I use it on myself. good Luck!
 
Are your other hens picking at her red, bald area? If they are, you might consider getting some hen saddles, even though your roosters are no longer around.
