They get outside to roam everyday. Most days is almost all day. I only have them in the run if I run to town or do errands and when I am gone a few mornings a week. I haven't seen any lice or mites but I have noticed them scratching a bit so that is why I was checking them out when I found her belly that way.My guess is they are stressed due to not getting outside to roam during the day. Looks like feather picking although there are some pin feathers coming in. Have you seen any lice or mites on their bodies? I don’t treat unless I see them. Permethrin is good if they have them. I would try to figure out which one is laying the soft egg, and treat her with calcium 300 mg daily for 7 days.
