I will start by saying that I love Australorps. In fact, my very favorite hen is an Australorp. She is such a sweet chicken and just let's you walk right up to her to pick her up. She doesn't run...

I'm new to this so bear with me. :D I got 3 RIR and 4 Ameraucana a few weeks ago. Notice on 1 of the RIR a bare spot on breast the 1st couple of days. Thought it was just stressed maybe picking. Seemed to be getting better. Today when I get home I've got a lot of feathers in run. Same RIR like it's molting it's dropping all of its feather quickly. It's not from being harassed no others are dropping feathers or molting. How long do they go through this and does this sound normal? She's still eating well and doesn't seemed bothered.

Thanks..
