Severe feather loss

[Baughmana95]

Hi all. I am hoping you can help me!


I have an astrolorp that is consistantly losing feathers and is about to lose them all at this rate. Her feathers are missing on her bottom and now her entire chest. I have read on molting, impacted crop, sour crop... the list is long. This is my first year with chickens so I have no clue where to start.

Does anyone have any ideas on why she could be losing so many without any sign of them growing back in?!
I have been treating the coop with DE incase of a lice/mite issue but I have yet to see any on her or any of our other birds.

Please help me

Has she been broody lately? Broody hens pluck thier stomach feathers to help keep eggs warm. They think the feathers get in the way of the broody incubation.
