Feather loss why!!

I would think if it was feather picking, at least one of my other 8 hens would show signs of being picked, unless this one is extra tasty, lol. Also I would think I would see her getting picked at least once in the last few months. But its a possibility.
 
My 10-11 week old Brahma looks the exact same way with a bare spot in the same place. I assumed it was feather picking, but no one else is missing feathers.

Now I'm just looking for something to put on her skin.
 
I'm having the same problem with one of my chickens, too. We have five Easter Eggers, four reds (we don't know what they are), and six too young to lay; no roosters. One of our reds has been losing feathers for months. She doesn't seem to be being picked on, she's not acting abnormally, she's just slowly losing more feathers. Our EE's have just started molting, and this is nothing like that. I don't think it's a parasite, since this has been going on for months and no one else is losing feathers like that. I just don't know what to do about her, and I'm worried with winter coming on.
