We think she is still laying. If it's binding or internal laying would she still be laying?

Hello,

I'm a first year chicken keeper. One of our 1 year old hens has a bare and maybe swollen fluff area. It feels like a water balloon. Is this ascitis? I'm not familiar enough with chickens to know if this is what the skin under the fluff feathers normally looks and feels like. If it's not ascitis why else would the feather be missing from this area?

Thanks for any help Permies.

David
