Feather loss by vent

[Britzyo]

Hi Chicken friends,
My hen has started loosing feathers by her vent. It doesn’t look like she bothered by it but I’m not sure if it’s the start of molting or something I should be worried about.
Appreciate your help!

Watch the others if they are picking out her feathers while hanging around or on the roost.

I haven’t seen that behavior before with them, but I’ll keep an eye out.
