Pullet loosing feathers

[flytpm]

I have a 5 month old BA pullet thats loosing feathers around her vent and up halfway to her chest. Didn't see any "red bugs", there was two little brown spots around her vent that almost look like lil worm, like 2 mm long; but they didn't move when I touched them. Don't know if it was just lil chicken manure or what. Look at these pics and see what you think. The other 5 pullets look fine and I have no rooster. Thanks

Sorry i can't tell anything by the pictures. Could she just be having a big molt?

Thats what I'm hoping but I don't know. I'm new to chickens.

I'm sorry, she's 7 months old. Anybody have an idea?
