Not sure if this should go here but........

My 9 month old Blue red laced Wynaodott is missing some feathers. She started missing them on the back of her neck like maybe where Mr. Jack would be getting her or maybe she would be getting pecked. Now i have noticed she has lost almost all of them under her neck. She is also looking bare all around her face. Maybe not bare but maybe where new feathers are coming in. I am pretty sure she isnt getting pecked in those places like under her neck. Here are some pic i was wondering if maybe she is molting but i thought she may be too young. Also i am not able to keep uploading pictures. I havent loaded pic on here lately and i see its new. Can someone tell me the problem please? thanks

If it is a moult she will likely have "pin feathers" emerging from where she has lost her original feathers.... if not - she may have lice/mites and you should treat with sevin/permethryn... all chickens and the coop too... hope this is of help!

she does have the feathers coming back in. nobody else is loosing feathers. so she isnt to young to molt at 9 months?

It is not impossible for her to be moulting at her age.. I have known chickens of nine months of age moulting... as you say she has pin feathers so it appears to be a moult.
