Molting or Disease

[Ch1cken7]

I'll try to post a pic following this post with my phone. But all my birds are coming on two years of age. I believe each one has successfully molted. They've come back in nicely. I have 6 chickens and they have nice quarters (4x8) coop and a large run + outside area.

Anyway, there's one barred rock that seems to have this bald patch on the front breast area. Skin looks red but otherwise not scabby or diseased looking. Curious if she's just taking a while to get feathers back or if I should look for signs of problems. Moreover, what signs am I looking for here.

For the record, no signs of lethargy and seems to be eating well.

Thanks!

Has she been broody?

How does her crop feel first thing in the morning before she eats or drinks? What does it feel like now? She could be pecking out her own feathers, and I would try to determine if she is having a crop problem.

Hmm felt her crop yesterday afternoon. Felt like a bean bag of rocks. Rather full. As for broody this one has not been.

My other two are and we're constantly kicking them out of the nesting boxes at night. Seems the extreme cold is confusing them maybe. We keep dipping into the single digits (F)
