What would these bald spots be due to?

I just noticed she’s red and has lost feathers here. Is this possibly normal molting or something else?

How old is bird?
Does she sleep on a roost?
 
She's about 1.5 years old. I cant seem to spot any mites or bugs anywhere on her. All of the other girls seem to be completely fine. Yes, they roost at night.
 
Does bare spot go farther back than pic shows?
Might be from 'roost rub'.
Some birds just have more brittle feathers that can break easily.
