Hello, my EE hen has recently been picked on for quite some time. Only on her back and the tip of her wings though. She's about a year old and so are the rest of my 8 hens. At first I thought it was lice/mites but I realized my RIR hen was mounting her so much that she lost her back feathers! Of course me not knowing what I'm doing thought she was simply molting and I left her alone. Now she has a bald patch on her back and the other hens pick on her!! I've gotten a chicken saddle, but it's too long for her and doesn't fit properly. I don't want to separate her because I don't have another place for her to stay. Now what, I'm really stuck. Here's a bit of an old pic, it has gone up her back a bit more, sometimes I see the skin gets reddish
