My pullets are about 3 months and my silver laced Wyandottes all seem to be molting? I'm finding black feathers everywhere. No one looks naked. Should I be concerned or is this normal? The production reds and the buffs have lost a few feathers but nothing like this blow out
 
Chicks go through a couple of molts as they grow before getting their adult feathers at 5-7 months, otherwise the feathers wouldn't be big enough to cover them as they grew.
 
Ok I didn't notice the other dropping this many maybe it's because they're darker and easier to see! Sorry for the dumb question
 
There are no dumb questions, except for ones not asked.
