Over the last 2 weeks it seems my Easter egger is off her lay. Today I noticed these spots on her flanks where it seems she has feathers that are broken off. And she appears ‘smallish’. She does not appear to be acting sickly, I haven’t seen any of the other ladies picking on her, and I do not have a rooster. So I’m not sure this is trauma. I’ve noticed a lots of her plumage and lots of ‘fluff’ in the coop (I’m attributing the loss of fluff to her skinny appearance). She is 16 months old and our nights are getting cooler. I’ve never experienced a molt before, so I’m hoping that’s what it is—because I ain’t no chicken doctor!
