As I watched mine, they ended up doing a "mini molt". I've read that this is common in younger hens and usually do this once before they have a real molt. Mine are only a year old. They lost the broken feathers and are starting to grow in new ones. They only lost the feathes on their lower backs and some on their necks. Just keep watching them closely!
