MASS FEATHER LOSS HELP!!!

[ChickenKeep01]

My Japanese Bantam has just gone broody but the eggs died is i'm breaking her when i went to ge check on her, her entire belly had no feathers at all. what dose this ,mean is she dying or do they lose feathers when incubating

She's fine . Broody hens will tear out their belly feathers to add to the nest so their body warmth can keep the eggs warm. They will grow back once she is done being broody.
