Help!! New Chicken Owner - Hen loosing feathers





I have a young Silkie Hen who I recently purchased a month and a half ago. Within the last 2 weeks she has started to loose her feathers. She eats, drinks, and acts normal besides the hair loss. I have also checked her for parasites but I don't see anything. Should I be worried? If so, what do I need to do??
Welcome to BYC! Glad you joined the flock! It looks like she could be molting. If she's just molting you should be fine. If you give us more details of things you're noticing we might know if there's something wrong.

Welcome to BYC and the coop! There's a lot of great peeps here! Feel free to ask lots of questions. But most of all, make yourself at home. I'm so glad you decided to joined the BYC family. I look forward to seeing you around BYC. I have a pure white Silkie that seems to molt all the time. Could that be the case here?
