Today I noticed some of my hens have lost feathers. One is noticeably losing them on her neck, and some around her vent. Another hen is preening herself a lot and looks as if she has lost some below her wings, and yet another is ruffling her feathers and looks uncomfortable.
There are lots of feathers below our “jungle gym”/outdoor roosting bars, where the first hen (who is missing them on her neck) likes to hang out.
I don’t know if this is just molting (it’s freezing out, would they be molting now?) or if there is something wrong. (I don’t know much about molting, this is my first flock)
