Is my Chicken Molting?

[The Easter Egger Inn]

I have 3 EE pullets who are around 13 weeks old. I have noticed over the last couple of days that two of them seem to have lost a lot of their tail feathers. I know it’s molting season, but I did not think chickens this young molted. Is this something to be concerned about? They look and act normal otherwise.

the black EE (Onyx) is what all their tail feathers used to look like. They orange/brown EE (Scramble) is what the other two now look like

Yep, normal. Probably the last of a couple-few juvenile molts they have by about 6 months old.
