When I got my (10) hens from a friend last summer, all of them were missing back feathers and tail feathers. She said they'd been a bit overcrowded in her coop, and that by January, they'd look a lot better.
That was true for all of them except one - she's missing most of the feathers on her back, and her tail feathers are pretty scarce, too. I know she usually spends the night in one of the nest boxes, but I've not seen anyone peck her otherwise.
I can get pics tomorrow if necessary, but would welcome suggestions tonight. Thank you!
