Hello all, I have 2 hens (barred rock and Americana) that have feathers missing on their saddle, one neck also. I think it is from my rooster but they have scaley skin and only a couple feathers seem to be coming back. Just trying to get some advice.

Pictures?
How much skin is exposed? Could they have sunburn?
 
Too much skin is exposed on my Americana she could definitely be sun burnt. However, her skin is not red. My rock has less skin exposed but may have been sunburnt also. They free range during the day then we lock them up at night. Should I use something like aloe on them?

Can you post some photos?
Is the skin scaly from dryness/exposure or is it broken feathers/intact feather shafts that you are seeing?
