I think my hen is being picked on.

Has this girl molted yet? Two of my hens start their molts on their side/butt area like that.

no she hasn’t. But she only started laying like last month. Is that normal to molt in the winter like that?

I have two who are still molting right now and a couple others who seem to be in the final stages. Crazy girls!

Wow ! Ok so that makes me feel better that it may be that. I’m still going to probably put some of the pick no more stuff on here I think.

I have one pullet going through a small molt. So yes, it's possible for them to suddenly molt in the middle of winter.
