Plucked Barnevelder

[SLOChick]

Anyone know what's going on here? I have 12 chickens all on the same diet, as well as free ranging, and all in the same run at night. She's not pecked by the others; she's pretty assertive. Not sure why the naked chest...?

Is her crop emptying?
Any lice or mites?
She also has some feather loss on her wings, do you have a rooster?

I'd observe to see if she's plucking her own feathers out or if another is grooming and plucking them out for her. It happens even the head hen can be plucked during roosting.

If she's not bothered, is eating/drinking/active/laying, crop is emptying, no external parasites, no bloody or broken skin, then I'd just monitor.

She seems perfectly normal in every other way. She eats and drinks, isn't being henpecked. We don't have a rooster. It's just weird that it's only her
