2-3 of my 15 hens have missing/broken feathers at the top of their backs right at the tail. Skin is red and irritated. No scabs or bleeding, no bugs or mites seen, no rooster. Do chickens have a "pecking order" and is that is what is going on? If it is, is there something we can do to stop or improve the situation and to heal these areas on this couple of chickens? If not, any idea what the problem is? Thanks to all in advance!!
