I'm new to chicken keeping so really need some help! I went to clean out the coop this morning and realised there was a LOT of loose feathers, I always see the odd few but there was a substantial amount this morning! What does this mean? Thanks guys.
 
Do all of your chickens look okay (no signs of a predator attack)? I'm thinking that one of them is about to start a full molt. Either that, or a dominant bird picked on another bird overnight. It is probably nothing to worry about. :)
