Anything wrong with my chickens or just molting?

[Richard Pryor]

Few of my chickens have lost their feathers on their torso. Not all. Is this normal?

It's not normal. Do you have a rooster?

That's rooster or mating damage as far as I can tell.

It's very red and irritated. Separate your boy or get some hen saddles.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Yes I do have 1 rooster

 

[Richard Pryor]

He’s usually very quick when mating though. 2 seconds tops.

Irrelevant... he has favorites and your hens are suffering.

That is rooster damage in MY experience... Give your ladies a break so they grow some feathers back in.
