Sounds like she is molting, though you did not give much info. How old? Did she stop laying? What does she eat?

She is about 1 1/2 yr old .....or so?
She is not laying
She is now on a combination of Layer Egg crumbles,meat bird feed , scraatch and bugs ,worms and whatever else she can find in the yard.
previous owner had her on what looked to be finely ground up corn
