Pecking?

[Bigrooster1]

Is this because of pecking from others? She’s been like this for months. I’ve tried putting stuff on it to help prevent whatever it is but nothing helps. If it’s pecking, I haven’t seen it. I watch them quite a bit and I never see her getting picked on.

Do you have a rooster?

Do you have a rooster?

Yes, which I understand with the head but the wings, breast, and neck?

The head is probably from other hens plucking her. The chest could be from sitting in the nest box, does she stay in them a lot? Or from rubbing on the roosts at night.

I rarely see her in the nesting box. If it’s because of these things, is there anything I can do to help her heal maybe?
