Is this from a rooster or mites or something else?

Hope had a little bald spot before I put the cockerels in. I assumed it was from the other hens but I’m started to wonder if this is from mites or lice? Just wondering what you think.

I think it’s from the other hens. A couple of my girls had bald heads like that, and I had no lice/mites or roosters in there.

It could also be from rubbing up against the wire or something. Keep an eye the others don't peck that area, they love pecking "red" ... You could get some BluKote to apply to cover the redness, use a Qtip to apply, it's purple

Ok I haven’t seen anyone pecking her but I’ll watch them! Thanks
