I noticed a thinned spot on my bird's neck and found a spot with inflamed skin and a chunk of feathers with only the feather shaft present..Depluming mites?
How old is the bird? Hen? Looks like possible rooster damage from him hanging on when he mounts. If you don't have a roo, then watch for a dominant hen doing it, which sometimes happens when there is no roo in the flock.
