I wonder why her feather looks like this on her wings/back. I'm not sure if it's broken feather or molting or mite. She's like this for almost a month. She is not the top of dominance, but not bullied and not overmated either. She also lays everyday. I can see a bit of skin on the wings. What do you think?
Thank you.

I really do think it's probably your rooster. How many hens do you have?
He is a very handsome young feller, from what I can see, by the way.
I think he's the same age as her... between 1-2yo...I have totally 5 adult hens for him now, 2 young ones (he still tries to mate with them btw lolll)
 
How do I know if she's his favourite

The feathers, for one.
It might pass. Might want to watch out just in case though, those spurs can do some damage. Keep an eye out.
How old is he?
You could consider separating him for a bit, or separating her, with a friend. But that might not be necessary.
