no help on the molting (I am still new to chickens and mine haven't molted yet)... but I do know that Araucana's lay only blue eggs, so if you are getting olive, then it has to be a mixed breed (most likely an easter egger)

Another blue egg layer is the Ameraucana.

I hope your chicken is ok and it is just a molt!
