That is a beautiful silver spangled hamburg hen you have there.
That bareness is caused by the rooster. She must be his favorite hen.
I had one rooster to 14 hens, he had 4 favorites, one that was almost to the point of bleeding. He's been gone for about 2 months now, and their feathers are beginning to grow back in, just fuzz at this point, but he was the problem. He was not a mean rooster, he just mated often, and quickly.
