Is my chicken sick?

[Matt Noah]

im new to raising chikens. I see one is losing a lot of feathers in her rear side and tail. It’s extremely dark pink looking. She don’t seem to be grazing as much with the other chikens and roosters. I don’t want to lose her as they are pets and we have lost a few before for diff reasons.

How old is she? She might be molting

Hopefully molt. I never considered how much weirder it would look on a dark chicken.

She’s a couple years old or so. I hope that it’s just molting. I don’t know much about it besides reading on the net. Thanks for the reply

If she's a couple years old then I think it is safe to assume she is molting, but if she start showing other symptoms let us know!

Ok thank you. My mom wanted to raise chicks when we moved from the city to a farmhouse. Iv been learning from hard experience. Its been heartbreaking to lose any. From the neighbors dog(who now is fine with them since the neighbors than started raising chicks), to a stray cat(who now stopped attacking as well since I started feeding it), to a mystery death( i think internal injurys from my rooster being to rough with it). They are not easy to keep safe. And now the one hatch we had over the summer which I thought was a chick ended up being a rooster. Now two roosters, two chicks. Scared that will be an issue. But the neighbors have four adult chicks and 4 younger ones. So I hope thier is enough for them not to fight. They all hang out together during the day.
