@Eggcessive should be online in the morning. What other symptoms does she have?

It looks like it could also be an injury?

Welcome to BYC. We need to have some details about what is going on with your chicken. How long has it looked like that, does it look like a skin infection, or has the skin been injured? If this just occurred without an injury, I would at something like a skin fungus called favus. Has she rubbed her head on fencing or been bullied? I would also look for mites or lice around the neck and under the vent.

Favus is a fungus that should be treated with an antifungal cream such as clotrimazole (Lotrimin) or miconozole (Monistat 7 cream.)
