    Bare butt chicken dead :-( Can someone please help identify the cause?

    We found one of our hens dead inside the coop this morning. Her eyes were closed. She had a mild bare butt that we thought might have been lice, so a month ago, we dusted the chickens with Sevin dust and they seemed to be doing fine. We were very heartbroken to find one of our hens dead this...

    Bare bums

    We have eight girls. I recently notice a bare bum on one and now that's up to six. I don't see signs of mites or lice but beyond the occasional tap I haven't see excessive pecking. They have layer feed but do get some kitchen scraps as well - but not an excessive amount. I may add some...

    Why does my chicken have a bare butt??

    Out of our six girls this is the only one with a bare butt so I don’t think it is pest related (but could be wrong) it looks bad and I’m very concerned. Her neck feathers also look pecked at or damaged from something else. Need advice on what to do. See pictures
