Raw butt

[Luettgenchicken]

Hi-I was searching the threads and so some posts related to this. I checked the coop, no bugs, turned the chicken over and no bugs but I didn't see feathers coming in. Its not bleeding. I didn't get a great photo, the area is larger. I am going to go to farm store tomorrow but thought I would throw it out there. If no bugs, what else could it be? She is so sweet and I feel bad. She's a lavender Orpington. My husband named her Grey Bird. Original. She does come to that. ANyway, I digress. Any suggestions beside that purple stuff someone mentioned? TIA

Is she the roosters "favorite?" does she get pecked on? do they rip her feathers out? is she laying regularly?

Hi-I have all hens and they all have got along. 2 years she been with them. They were all chicks at the same time.

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

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

Ok, I just ordered it. Fleet farm doesn't have it. They really have nothing.

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

Ok she was in trying to lay today. Not sure she did. These are more pics of her but. But it goes up her back. And now another one has it
