How can you tell the difference between male and female Isa Browns?

Welcome to the mad house.
Sorry I do not know.
Where did you get the Isa Brown in question from? An Isa Brown is a hybrid.

If ISA Browns are like the other brown hybrids they are normally colour sexed at hatching, so you should only hae a female if you bought it from a hatchery or rearing facility.  Our Bovans Goldlines and Babcocks are all girls, the males get gassed usually once hatched

I purchased them from a local/chain tractor supply store.  The reason I am asking is because I have three chickens and two of them have patches of feathers missing on their back.  Our neighbor said that might be because one is a male who is breading with the other and causing the feather lose.  Any suggestions?
