Broody Patch??

Hello everyone, i was wondering if anyone could tell me whats going on with my chicken. She is about 7 months old. She is almost bald close to her vent and also her chest. Is this a broody patch? Just didnt know if it was something that needs attention. She acts fine and coop is clean regularly. Thank you in advance!

Yes we did look for mites, but we didnt see anything.

I have a bare spot on one of mine but its on the back side of her neck. I figured the other chickens were picking at this one.
