Red bottom chickens

Posted on June 10, 2003

Question:
Is it normal for chickens to have "red bottoms"? We have only 3 chicklens, one has a very red bottom and another is getting red! They are going on 2 years old. We can't find anything wrong with their environment. Their diet is scratch feed, cracked corn, occasional grass pulled from the garden and table scraps.

If you could comment, thank you.

Answer:
I do not think this is a normal condition and you should probably consult a veterinarian. Good Luck, Chuck.
