Huge bald patch

[Stevie-chicks]

One of our chicks has been losing her feathers at a quick rate. I can't tell if it is moulting or feather peaking. I haven't seen any mites of any kind. We live in Colorado and it's getting pretty cold. Was thinking of quarantining for her. Any advice would be very appreciated. Thanks

I see a lot of pin feathers coming in, looks like she's molting.

If your coop and run have wind protection she will probably be o.k. I leave molting birds with their flock, if you isolate them, they will lose their place in the flock. Just watch that she's eating/drinking well.
You'll probably notice she'll hang out a bit more by herself too until she really starts to feather back in. Molting birds are often skittish.
