I'm pretty sure my hens are going through molt, but I have to be certain. They have pale combs, and are missing feathers around their heads. When I put them down a cloud of feathers just goes poof! around them. Some of them have lost a little weight. Not enough to feed them separately to the others, but enough to notice when I pick them up. They don't lay as much, one day I only got 1 egg out of 20 hens.
Also, I heard that you feed them chick crumble to help them with protein. I also heard that you can't eat the eggs if you give them crumble.
Thanks in advance.
