It looks like others are pecking and breaking off her feathers. You could try spraying on some blue dyeing BluKote on the bare or red spots, or a cream such as Nustock which can hide them as well and is bad tasting. Look at how much room they have, are they getting outside to free range or are they bored, how much protein they are getting and if their diet is well balanced. Is she low in the pecking order, and do you have a rooster?

Im ready to try anything . My rhode islands are high on the pecking order but one of them started losing her feathers first and is in a bad way , now i noticed it on speckles which is whndotte i believe , And one of my buffs is looking bad off now also .
Been using primo spray for 2 weeks thinking it was mites/lice. Chicks have major outdoor life goimg on with acres to roam .
There base food 16% protien layena crumbles . I just ordered 20 % protein . They get army worms every day to call them back in .
There run is 10 x12 with activity areas . There coop has 20 ft of nesting bars . I have 7 hens no rooster.
They get fruit and snacks . Our animals are spoiled and my wife and i say if we die we want to come back as pets and have parents like us .
