I came home and noticed one of my girls missing a lot of feathers on her back. Pic below. This doesn't look like molting to me but please tell me if I'm wrong? Could something be wrong here?

Since you don’t have a rooster, it’s likely either feather picking or molting. I do see a lot of pinfeathers, so I’m thinking it’s a combination of both. Hens tend to pick out each others feathers when they’re bored.
 
I haven't seen any of the others picking at her so maybe it is molting but it seems like a lot gone quite quickly. Hopefully just molting!
