Feathers?

[ChicksandJacque]

Hi there, I'm noticing a lot of feathers in my run. My chicks are all pretty young 12-14 weeks. I'm not seeing any pecking issues, but I wondered if it was normal for there to be feathers lying around. They are all in one corner of the run.

Yep, they're molting. I have some 16 week olds and my run looks like they had a big pillow fight lol

Oh so not too young? That's good news.

Chicks go through several juvenile molts, so it's not quite the same as the yearly molt but it is in the same vein
