Bald backsides?

[deserthens]

One of my Rhode Island reds molted for ever this winter. She lost the feathers on her neck seems like a couple times. Her neck looked like you hens rump. This hen is not pecked by others. If your hens is being pecked a lot is there a practical way of separating her and the other ones that are missing feathers form the rest until they recover?

I vote for molting too... went through the same thing. My hens looked like yours... I just put aprons on them and put blue kote over the areas not covered by the apron... just to hide the bare spots... I also bumped up their protein with BOSS and a little calf manna added to their feed
