I have searched the forum and the internet, but can not pinpoint wether a 5 month old can molt. Or if they are just plucking out all of their juvenile feathers. Combs are starting to get a little darker.
 
I found a site and one member said that between 4-5 months old, they lose their Juvenile Feathers.

So, I guess they are fine.
 
Chickens will not usually molt until they are 18 months old. And then after that it is like every 11 months. This is all i have been able to find out about it here. Im trying to figure out if mine are or arent.
