Rooster with very red backside near vent

[FrauFrost]

Hi everyone! I have a rooster with a very red backside near his vent. The rest of his skin is fine. Others have said it’s hormones (he’s 3). Just want a second opinion. His backside is clean - no pasty butt, he has had diarrhea due to the intense heat here, I’m treating him for scaly leg mite and one of my hens just got over vent gleet. Any ideas?

He looks like he's being plucked, & now is regrowing feathers.

Plucking is painful, & causes redness, & swelling.

I don’t think it’s water belly. His stomach isn’t bloated and he’s very active with a healthy comb. The color is very similar though.

oh,

I think he’s definitely getting pecked but I’m wondering if whatever is going on is bothering him and he’s self plucking I haven’t noticed any of the hens going after him. I’ll keep my eye on him. Thank you

I believe there's a bored hen doing it.
