My broody hen's hatched about 2 weeks ago. Now she is losing all of her feathers. Is it normal for her to molt after sitting on the nest for so long or is this totally unrelated and she is just molting. BTW she is 2.5 years old and this is the FIRST time she has gone broody and the first time she had molted. I mean I have see a few feathers in the coop before but this is different. I am including a picture that was taken a few days ago, you can kind of see the feathers on her back are gone right where the chick is sitting. Her whole back is looking like this now...
