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.
 
That can be normal. How old is she? Just look her bottom over well for mites (dark specs) or lice eggs (little yellow things near the base of feathers.)
 
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.
