Hi Lisa, Usually red skin is a common thing for chickens who have lost feathers and the skin is exposed to the sun so it is more or less like a sunburn. If the red skin is under the feathers and there are no mites or lice causing an irritation then I'm really not sure.

You know Lisa, it's hard to say what his appetite is because I haven't quarantined him yet so I dont know when her eats, but he doesnt look skniny. I'll try to get a hold of him and take a picture. YOU are always so helpful. Thank you. wish we could meet.

Only one rooster has the red skin and it's recent?

I wonder if the red skin is related to the lice.

Well my guess would be http://ohioline.osu.edu/vme-fact/0018.html your going to need to flip him around and really check him so is the head shaking new? If yes, is he wobbly, body shaky, looks drunk at times?
