Today my husband picked up one of our chickens and when he did he noticed she was bare on her chest. She is not broody , she seems healthy, laid an egg this morning and has been laying an egg everyday for weeks now. ( started laying in December ) she has no pin feathers and seems perfectly fine. It seems like one of our other chickens has been losing some down feathers too ( as they’re white ) we think it may be our buff Orpington. Is it just an early molt? Doesn’t seem to have any signs of lice or mites but we are gonna do a good look at them tomorrow better.
