chickens lossen there feathers

[daveyblevins]

Some of my hens have almost no feathers on there back and neck what is causing it and how can i help my hens out?

Don't panic, they will grow back. Answer these questions:
1. Are your hens molting?
2. Do you have a rooster?

i dont think they are molting and yes i do have a rooster and all his feathers are gone from his neck

Hmm... I've seen some of my hens mount each other even though I have 10 roosters... and one time I saw a hen mount a roo. They most likely are molting, you probably just don't realize it. Maybe you suffered some part of a predator attack?, like a rat who's picking at the feathers? I've seen that. Look over a hen or rooster with the most severe feather loss, do you see any wounds? Can you post some pics of the chickens?
