I'm a first time chicken haver. I aquired 2 wyndottes from a neighbor who was moving suddenly last january and just feel in love with having chickens. The wyandottes were about 9 months old at the time. I've added 3 buff orpingtons who are now 22 months old.
I've read on molting but I just realized that I've yet to see a molt, or what I imagine a molt would look like. My two older wyandottes haven't molted that I know of. No bare naked chickens or great loss of feathers. Both are great layers.
Is there a time of year I should expect a molt? Or after a certain age?
