My hen is 3 months old and only her feathers from her wings are falling off. Is it normal? Is there anything I can do--food/medication? Although they are falling, I have checked that new ones are coming out. But should I worry?
 
Sounds like she's just molting out her juvenile feathers and getting her adult ones. I wouldn't be worried as long as new feathers are coming in to replace the old ones and you're not seeing signs of anything like lice or mites.
