Chicken loosing feathers?!

[Jose11632]

Hen is 1 year and 1 month old few day ago saw some feathers on the floor assumed she preened she does. She also stopped laying about a week ago. She still eats the same and drinks she runs a lot as when taken out like today in the morning when I took her out she flew out and dropped like 6 feathers and there’s like over 30 feathers in their coop. Is she molting? Her comb is red like always no change in her appearance or attitude.

Also temp dropped about 10 degrees it was in the high 90s and now there at the point where they lay down in the shady pats of their coop and try to close there eyes a bit.

Not yet, I have seen her preen quite a bit though. Only feathers she has pulled out was some belly feathers back then few months ago when she tried going broody

Can they molt at this current time?

 

[Jose11632]

She hasn’t lost weight nor she is lethargic.

I think Sept to Nov is normal for a molt time--at least here it is
