Bald wing tips

[StaleCookies]

My little Brahma has had bald wing tips since she hatched and they're now covered in scabs and she's getting bald patches in other places. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with her?

How old is she? Can you check her to see if she has mites? That could be a reason why she is losing more feathers and getting bald spots, though it's odd she's had bald wing tips since she hatched. I'll tag some members who may be able to help:

They've all been treated for mites recently and she's about 9 weeks old.

Looks like feather picking and/or being mounted to me.
What's your setup look like, how much space?

There's 4 of them in about a 3m by 3m enclosure. They're all about 9 weeks old.

What are you feeding?
Do you provide heat like a heat plate?

1 or more of the others are plucking this one's feathers out.

You treated for mites recently - did they have mites? What did you use and if there were mites, did you thoroughly treat the housing and remove the bedding?

I'm feeding an all in one egg layer feed. They don't need heat here because it's 25°c/77°f - 38°c/100°f and I spend at least an hour with them every day and I don't see any of the others plucking her feathers.
Yes the had mites when I treated them initially about a month ago and I treated them again about a week ago before I moved them to there new enclosure. The new enclosure shouldn't have any mites since I just finished building it and no other poultry have been allowed in there.

Where are you located in the world?

At 9 weeks old the juveniles should be eating a chick starter or an all flock/flock raiser type feed that is 18-22% protein. Often layer feed has too much calcium and is lacking in protein for growing birds.

I'm in the northern part of Australia. I'll try to get some different feed next time I go into town and give it a try.
