Loosing feathers?

[Shari6083]

I have a chicken who has gone broody. So we dunked her in cool water and isolated her. Then I noticed that she has lost her feathers on her stomach. Is that normal? should I be worried? thanks for any help???

Broodies pull their chest feathers so their skin contacts the eggs directly, for setting.
