Feathers around face missing

[Freedomfarmer420]

I have a rooster with balding spots around his face. And maybe one or 2 with the same problem. I notice it when letting them in the coop. Any idea whats wrong and how to fix it.

Also photos of each bird that's affected, so we can look for similarities in the damage.

Hope this helps, I thought I saw more but when getting this pic I looked around and couldn't find any. I put some first saturday lime and put it in there run as well as there coop and the same with the ducks as a preventative just in case. Figure it couldn't hurt

Hard to tell.
Do you think they have lice? Hopefully the lime makes a difference.

Idk, I would think they would be scratching more if the had mites or lice. Im also making them a dust bath. I got some diamascous earth and probably use the lime too. I'll get in there with them tomorrow and give them a look

Didn't see any lice or mites but here are some more pics

I don't really see any noticeable issue? Maybe a little sparseness, but I thought there'd be bald faces.

Have you seen them grooming each other at all? Feathers can get pulled out or broken during mutual grooming.

Maybe I'm just over reacting. Just trying to stay on top of things. I wanna nip any problems they may occur in the bud.
