How much feather loss is normal?

[dmhoob]

Hi,
I am new to raising chickens. I have 6 hens(pullets), 10-12 weeks old.

How much feather loss is normal? We moved them into the coop 2 weeks ago and it seems in the last week there have been a lot of feathers on the coop floor. All the ladies seem to be acting fine, I checked them all and nobody has any noticable bare spots.
When they were in the brooder, I might find 3 or 4 feathers a day... this is WAY more now.

Should I be concerned?

Thanks

You shouldn't have to worry. Sounds like normal shedding of young feathers to be replaced with adult plumage.
