Losing head feathers

One of my four ex-bats has lost most of the feathers on her head, all four are moulting at the moment but wondering what might be causing the bald head.

My light sussex is starting to look like a Transylvanian naked neck.
Her butt must be a bit draughty as well , she needs some new feathers before it gets too frosty.

I've got 2 oven ready's at the mo

They seem to have lost feathers from everywhere at one go and yes heads are bald ish too

The theory is the quicker the moult the better the layer I think
