I have an Easter Egger that I noticed was missing her side burn tufts, so I looked closer and she was missing most of the feathers on the underside of her neck, completely smooth. So I do an inspection and see another bird a Barnevelder with the same thing. The molt happened a few months ago and they haven't slowed down laying so I ruled that out. I sprayed them for parasites to be on the caution side. Two weeks later, they are still the same but I noticed another Barnevelder with the same thing starting and it looks like possibly two Cuckoo Morans as well starting to miss some. Now this is only the feathers under their neck, nowhere else.

Any ideas????
