Our wellsummer hen for the last month or more has been having bald patches around her tail her vent and each side of her neck. My grandad has dusted her with magic dragon powder and sprayed her 3 times with a anti pecking spray. We thought one of our bantams was pecking her but we watched her and she's pecking her own feathers out.

 

Can anyone plz help?

I had a hen that did that too, a bit like human nail biting I think, a habit very hard to break, she even managed it when fitted with a bumper bit.
