Rash on duck?

Over the past week, we have found patches of missing feathers on our Pekin hen. The weird part is that not only are the feathers missing, but the pin feathers growing in are broken off and bloody, and the skin is red and inflamed. We have been applying Nu-Stock to it and that seems to help, but it still looks irritated. The spot on the right side of her neck (which is about three inches long and an inch wide) is the biggest by far, and now it is starting to spread in a 3/4 inch line down her back. The spot on the left side of her neck is currently about the size of two quarters. Any ideas what it could be?

Here are some pictures of it.

This is the newest spot on her back

It does not seem to hurt her at all. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The pictures make it look better than it really does.
 
Hi,
We ended up putting Blu-Kote on the rash after using the Nu-Stock for a while. The Blu-Kote applied every couple of days seemed to do the trick. Her rash healed up, and she hasn't had any trouble with it since.
