9 month old female chicken - is she molting?

[Michellew044]

Hi everyone!! Thanks for all the help lately. This young lady has been “losing feathers” for a Couple weeks now and she is looking so homely, poor thing. From what i read, she is likely too young to molt but it’s still a slight possibility. We have a total of 4 chickens living together in a large coop and run so they have plenty of room. Sometimes this one sleeps in the lower roosting bar but sometimes she sleeps on the higher one with the rest of the ladies.

Do you think this looks like molt?


Probably unrelated but I recently posted about her having a cracked beak and bloody comb. Not sure if someone’s picking on her or what? I don’t ever see anything definitive to tell me yes or no.

Thank you in advance!!!

Yep she's experiencing a molt.
