Hello from Gold Coast Australia

I keep looking over those photos and it looks to me like her feathers are getting rubbed off there. Do you have one of those feeders with just opening for the beak? I'm wondering if it's rubbing off her feathers, or if she is sticking her head where it doesn't belong, with the same result. Do you ever see her pecking at her own feathers? Have you checked her out top to bottom for lice/mites? She looks to be the same breed as the other in that color.

Do they all sit near each other on the roost? That it usually a prime time for another chicken to start pecking/plucking.
 
Hey Drumstick diva, thanks for the input. Yes she is a cutie and we all totally love her because of her short comings.

She has always had a bit of bald, patchy neck and she is just now getting really scruffy looking, so I am wondering if it is something more like mites? I'll have a really good look for them. As for the rest I have been watching her like a hawk and haven't observed anything out of the norm.
I'll keep you posted. x
