    Can anyone help diagnose this?

    This is happening on only two out of six of my chickens. I do not have a rooster, haven’t been able to see any mites and separated one that could possibly be a feather picker but it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. Has anyone run into this or have any other ideas.
