It can be hard to be a chicken owner, because they can't talk and tell us what's wrong. You sound like a wonderful chicken mom!

Thank you

Yes, if the redness is right under the vent, it may just be hormones. I've seen that in my roosters, just monitor that area to see if the skin stays the same.

Poor Guy!

I'm not sure what's going on with him.

I'd keep us with the vitamins, soak the feet and see that he's eating/drinking o.k.
