Missing feathers back of neck...........

[gabby3535]

One of my Light Sussex hens has some short and missing feathers on he back of her head and scruff of neck........with
a few little, minor scabs.....like someone has been pecking her feathers.
In your experience, is this missing feather pattern just caused by 'bully-ing' from another hen, or from 'mounting' of a roo????
She is fine but I am just curious...................

From my experience, it's the roo grabbing hold.

Yep,that's kinda the love handles to a cock. Not too romantic but the way nature made it. Will
