What does this seem to be?

Hey all, one of my chickens (Sussex hybrid) is losing feathers around her face. She's about 18 weeks old

Any ideas?

From what I can see from the picture, it looks natural. Some chickens have less feathers on their faces than others, but it's all normal.

Hello!! Sometimes they can get picked on by other chickens and over time they can go a little bald in those places so to speak! May I ask if any of your other chickens have the same thing?

Thanks for the reply
