Chicken eating and picking Turkey feathers to the point of bleeding

[keefersfiddle]

Hi, I have a barred rock that is ruthlessly persistent at following our Tom Turkey from behind picking and eating small feathers, causing bleeding enticing the other chickens to do the same, i have even seen her go after a red that lost feathers due to a hawk attack, I think that situation will be fine once her feathers are back fully, but what do I do about the Turkey, His butt is really bald and sometimes bloody. I have a mite problem as well, and they are very visable, im gonna dust them this weekend, could my hen be going after the mites on the Turkeys ass? What should I do, any help would be much appreciated, thanks!!!!!
