Is shedding feathers normal?

[JSossong]

Walking into my coop there's feathers everywhere! I have 11, 13 week old RSLs. I'm assuming that its normal based on the fact that all of my girls seem super healthy.

Thoughts and comments please!
Thank you!

yes it is completely normal it will happen at least twice a year

Okay, good! And thanks for responding! Is there a reason that this happens? And does it always happen at the same time each year?

It's called molting, you can probably find more information about it in the learning center section of this site.

yours are very young and still growing. They lose their feathers as they grow out their adult ones.
