Feathers missing mystery

[HomeBirthMama]

I have a Silkie rooster who is about 15 weeks old and is missing feathers on the back of his neck. I did look for mites and lice, but I don't see any. He has parts of a feathers, meaning he is not totally bare. One of the hens is starting to look like him, too. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like a molt, probably getting in their adult feathers.

Ok. Thank you Oldhenlikesdogs. That's a relief. It didn't seem to match other people's pictures of missing feathers. I really appreciate the response.
