chicken losing feathers

[St3v3n31922]

my cochin has been losing feathers her her neck area and the coop is a lot of feathers, and there’s no injuries to her, does this mean she’s just shedding if that’s possible?

Sounds like a molt, check near the bare patches to see if you can spot new pin feathers starting to grow in, that's a pretty telltale sign.

'Tis the season, starting to see some here too.
Yes, look for pin feathers to confirm molting.
How old are your birds, in months?

She may do a full molt or just a partial(mostly around neck).
