Have you checked for any beasties? Some lice target the neck.
Have you got other hens and do you know for sure that they are only 24 weeks old?
My lot seem to moult when the fancy takes them, if you have ruled out creepies and crawlies and feather-pecking by any other hens I shouldn't worry about them too much  :)
