Has a bald patch right behind her comb and little patches on her face

My 1 year old Plymouth Rock has a bald patch right behind her comb and a few feathers missing on her face. I saw her scratching her face once today. Is something wrong or am I just making a mountain out of a mole hill???
Thanks,

If you have a rooster...its from him grabbing them to mate..eventually they get balding spots if the roo grabs them in the same spots...or molting...or feather picking from the other females...if you dont think its any of that...check for lice and mites.

Where would be the key places to check for lice/mites????
