Hello there! And It is wonderful to have you here with us, best wishes!

Welcome to BYC! So glad that you joined!

Glad to meet you. Bet it is moulting. Normal in the fall. Watch out if they are picking on one bird and draw any blood. There are some seriously ugly moulting photos on here you might look at.

Maybe you should host a few of us, so that we can ride the horses to the chicken coop and evaluate first hand what is going on.

Then when we enjoy our breakfast of fresh scrambled eggs and homemade gluten free bread, we could discuss what might be causing the feather loss.

Then over hot chocolate, in front of the warm fire in the fireplace, we could share our thoughts with you.

What do you feed the girls?

What are the dimensions of their coop? Their run?

Would you post pictures of the coop, the run, and the backsides/bare rumps of the chickens?

Here is a pic of my poor Patsy, this was a couple weeks ago at the peak of her molt. It could easily just be the normal molt. Is the coop covered in feathers like this?

Be prepared, egg laying drops off dramatically with molting.
