My gal's got a bald cheek and I'm trying not to chicken out

Poor bleepblurp123's gal woke up on the wrong side of the coop yesterday, sporting a bald cheek that's got her human in a full-on fowl panic. I've been there, nothing sends a chicken keeper scrambling like a mysterious bald spot on a feathered friend. Is it a rough molt? A little too much pecking from the flock's resident bully? Or just a weird feather-growing hiccup? The good side photo is a nice touch, as if to say, "See? She's normally this adorable." If you're looking for more cluck-tastic detective work, our post about whether a fluffy friend is a roo or just a bossy pullet might help you spot the difference between normal weirdness and something to worry about.
