Looks like she is a favorite of your rooster.

x2... looks like rooster damage.... we ended having to give ours away because he was wearing out the girls... they looked similar to this. Upside, once he was gone and not harassing them so much, egg production picked up.

That is what my husband said and then some body told him that it might be there feed.

did you just switch your feed? I've never seen a hen loose feathers like that unless they were over mated or other hens pulled them out. Unless you just changed your feed I doubt it would be that but you could always call the manufacturer.

I just got told today that they are pulling each other feathers out i got told to give them flock block to peck on. Will that get them to stop or can any body tell me any thing different.

How many birds do you have, and of what gender? How much space do they have and what are you feeding them?

 

[donrae]

Rooster damage has been suggested repeatedly. How many hens and roosters do you have? How are they kept? Is it all the hens? Are any roosters affected?

Looks like a rooster overmating your hen. They sell hen saddles you can put on them. Or you can take the roos out of the pen and make a rooster pen.
