Why is my chicken losing feathers

[ChickensGalore1]

For some reason my chicken has lost a good amount of feathers in 2-3 days? What caused it?

Could you give me an idea of the details you'd need? I'll try my best to answer them

Coop size. Amount of chickens in coop. Feed. Can you see bugs on the chicken.

Could she be starting a molt? The skin doesn't look reddened,

It could be that she's molting, but check to see if there are any bugs on her skin or feathers. Also, does she get pecked on by other chickens?

Glad you joined!

She could be getting ready to lay or go broody. They pick there belly feathers when they sit on eggs. Other than that I have no idea why. She has good feed good coop. Unless she is being picked on but that is usually the tail feathers and back of neck.
