    Not sure if my chicken is molting or there’s an issue

The molting process is most typical in late summer or fall so that once the molt is complete, your chickens are prepared for winter weather with a full set of new feathers to keep...

    Yes hens do molt in summer months. They do not have a selective time frame for this but will almost always do it once a year.

    When do Wyandottes generally start laying?
