You say one had it when you first got them,,,,,I would conclude that the other may be picking at an exsisting spot/wound. I would do what Big Chicken said, seperate for awhile and see if they improve.
Keep this in mind too,,,,,when they go to roost, sometimes they will peck at each other if they are too close to one another. Mine do it all the time. They act like kids sometimes.

well I will try to seperate them, but Im pretty sure thats not it either...when I had the porc. d'uccles by themselves...they didnt fight, never have...there are lovers...cuddley babies...

Thats why Im so lost...its like they are looking sick...in there face, around there face....

Keep them away from your other birds until you are sure what the problem is..

My ducks wings looked just like that...my drakes were tormenting her..chasing her and plucking her and stuff...

I have some that I would think are close too. However, when I go into their coop after they go to roost and before sleeping they peck at each other until they get situated for the night. Just a thought.
There is no broken skin to see. So that is a good thing, isn't it?

I really think it is the lavender gene. The location you show is exactly where lavenders tend to have problems. Here are some links:

I'm having a similar problem with one of my hens getting pecked on and posted a thread. Someone suggested that I try these to help stop them from peaking one another. Maybe that might help you too.

I have seen this in one of my girls, and also her chick. It is the lavender gene, my girls wings looked exactly like yours. If you do have mites they will damage birds carrying this gene more in this was, by almost stripping near the pin feathers.

wow!!! Its leaning more to the Lavendar gene...from what I read on those links so far...Ive got to get more info on this...can it be fixed, cured, controlled...

THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

So does this mean ALL lavendars get it, or once in awhile...

those peekers are cute....lol I saw a bird with those and was wondering what they were for!!!

It looks like the lavender effect indeed.

What you could do is gently peel off the husks. I do not have experience with it myself, so can't be precise with the timing of that action.
