Raw butt

[Luettgenchicken]

She's likely been plucked a bit.

NuStock cream on the bare areas to help soothe the skin. The taste of it may deter further picking as well.

Thank you. The stuff for horses?

Yes. The stinky stuff. Wear gloves when applying it unless you like smelling it for days

Have you noticed her laying patterns? has she been laying regularly or laying any strange eggs?

I haven't. Though, someone is laying long eggs. I would have to separate her. Not all laying now.

I also noticed those two chickens have some yellow on their feathers in front. Do you think it has any relation?

I'm going through the same thing, but only one of mine has the raw butt. Not sure what is going on. Sprayed some Scarlex on it to prevent infection and gave the whole flock Corrid just in case. Checked for egg bound and didn't feel one. Mine isn't laying. I hope we find some answers! Could it be a molt?

I don’t think she’s laying eggs. This was today

I used that stinky yellow stuff someone mentioned above. Not sure if it helped or not.

I was thinking about the molting and it’s possible because we did change the lighting in our coop, but only two of them were affected so either the other chickens are super chill and the change didn’t stress them out or it’s something else.
