Losing feathers in head and bald belly

[DebAnneDigi]

She’s acting fine. Eating, drinking… no parasites under wings or near vent. No scales on feet or legs..
what can I do for her?

Do you have a rooster?
What perch material does she go on?

I have hens that go through this phase all the time. When's the last time she molted?

No rooster.. A wooden ladder horizontally placed. I was just in there. I wiped bottom and top of where she was to check for mites…as someone suggested. Shined a strong flashlight on her belly, I didn’t see anything…focus on extra protein for her?

They all molted Nov/Dec

Possible feather picking by another and possible she going broody?

I think it would be a good idea to give her some extra protein.

Nov/Dec… I though it was a yearly thing.she’s 2yrs old

Is there something I can put on her belly to calm the redness?

Nothing I can think of, although I’m sure you can put something on it.
