I have a 12 week old Delaware rooster that has had issues growing feathers all along the middle of his back since he was a chick. It was to a point where either he or the other chicks were pecking him so bad that he was bleeding; I put coconut oil along the bare part of his back which seemed to helped. The issue now is he is now 12 weeks old and still is bare skin along his back. There is some pin feathers there, but have been for a few weeks and haven’t noticed much growth. What remedies could I try to help him get his feathers in along his back? Thanks!
 
Is it that they are being pulled out or rubbed off in that spot somehow?
Or is there no feather follicle at all?
Out of pure curiosity could you post a picture?
