so I noticed my chicken, Itchy was missing a few feathers on her face so I picked her up and went to examine her. I then noticed there were no feathers on her belly.
Does anyone know what it is and how I can treat it? Also she doesn't seem sick at all she's normal except for the major feather loss.

Or, looks like a broody hen. They will pluck their bellies/keel.

I think she is 1 or 2 years old, not sure... But I checked for eggs and mites and there is nothing there. And if there were mites my other 11 chickens would probably have them too because they are all in a lare coop together and the others all have fluffy bellies.

She isn't broody Im almost sure of it because my other hen is broody and also she hasn't laid an egg in a week because its so hot.
