What happened to my hen????

[digger455]

Was looking at my hens today and seen one that had no feathers from the crop down the brest to under the tail. It is bald in about a 3 inch strip all that way. The bach of the neck also has a bald spot. What the heck is going on here???????? Any help on this will help. Thanks for any help

Could it have gotten caught in a fence hole or something like that?

Once I had a hen, that her ear lobe got all banged up, and she had stuck her head through the wire, and pulled back hard.

I don't think it was a predator, cause a predator that got that many feathers, would have had her for supper.
