Hi! This Easter egger is just about a year old and lives with my small flock of 6 total hens. I raised them all together and don’t notice much if any picking or bullying. But I noticed this bare spot on her back and wonder if it’s molting, or disease, or picking. Their coop and run is 20 x 7 and they go outside supervised every day for an hour or so. Currently on 17% pellets with occasional scratch.

Edit to add: she’s eating, drinking, behaving normally but I don’t think she’s laying.

I have one other that’s molting and two others that molted a month ago.

Would love your thoughts.

Interesting. Doesn't look like she is molting or being picked on because it is in one specific spot but is more than just a few pecked out feathers. Could it possibly be from some kind of attempt attack from another predator?
