What's up with this chickens feathers?

I don't see her doing anything with them and I don't see the others bothering her - but there is this spit on her back that you can see that looks different from all the other chicks. Sorry the picture is bad. I'm still trying to get them to like me. They will only come near when I sprinkle meal worms around my chair.

Do you have a rooster? It looks like she's getting action. It's pretty common with roosters messing up a hens back feathers...

If no rooster, she could be molting.

Thanks for answering. No rooster (though there is a possibility one might be) and she's only about 3 months old. But, the other ladies might be pecking her. The three austrolorpes I have seen to be pretty feisty with each other...... I don't ever see them pecking - but they always seem to be having a few standoffs.
