Is it molting

[hazelville]

One of my Amerucana's has a bald spot near her tail feathers going up her back about 2 inches and about an inch wide. She seems healthy and the skin isn't red and I don't see mites or anything (the flock just got a big dose of garlic rice for mite control) so not sure if it is molting or I should I put the blue iodine stuff on it to at least keep the others from starting to peck her though the rooster keeps them in check for that but I digress...

Anyone have any advice what it could be or what I should do?

Thanks in advance!

Is she one of the rooster's favorites? Sometimes they will loose feathers on their backs from overly "passionate" roosters.

Whoever's near by is his favorite... One rooster and 18 hens, not sure if he has time for a favorite!

Kidding aside though good point, no pun intended. I'll see if that might be it...

Thanks!
