Bald spot

[saifa]

We noticed this morning that one of our three hens has a bald spot on her back. We were just wondering what caused this. Any help would be great.

Do you have a rooster??? Thats usually where they hold on with their sharp nails.

No, we do not have a rooster.

Check for mites or lice.

Could be low on the pecking order and now is getting pecked? I take it she is either too young or already done molting?
