What the heck is wrong with these hens?!?!

Oh, the ones with the issues are about 2 years old

I’ll have to spare some eggs for them to eat as well, thanks for the advice.

I'd say an over enthusiastic cockerel. But possibly pecking order violations and dominance being established

Hey, just guessing here - and sadly, I can't see the pictures clearly on my cell phone. My own (singular) example is anecdote, not data. It would not surprise me to be wrong, merely throwing out a possibility for consideration. Thanks for the feedback.

/edit I got the third picture to load - those bare spots are much "higher up" on the bird's back than what I saw on my CX - which were bare spots covered by the wing when it was held close - they were on her sides, not her top. I'm revising my opinion to favor the over-enthusiastic roo theory after further consideration.

Here’s the bald spot, also found a bunch of mites on them.. Sometimes I wish everything could just work out for once, but nooooo, it’s just one thing after another.

Sorry to hear its mites - glad you have discovered the source and can begin treatment though!
