Fall molt?

My EE has been losing feathers for a little while now and I'm wondering if this is normal. She is about 9 months old and stopped laying eggs around the same time the feathers started falling off. Everything else looks normal and healthy. Just curious.

Sounds like a molt to me. Many chickens go through a mini-molt in the 7 to 9 month range.
