Can anyone tell me why my silver sussex has a bald tummy? The skin is pink and clean, no signs of any sores or mites etc, the only other thing to mention is that she is broody. Thanks

Probably because she is plucking them to line her nest.

That'll be why TattyA

The skin gets exposed when broody so that the eggs come into contact with the skin, helps get the temp and everything right when they are sitting
Once broodiness is over she'll be back to her normal self
