Is this Normal?

[JodyJo]

I have 2 Gold Star pullets, they used to have longer tails, is it normal for them to all of the sudden look like this one?
It is all blunt now...they are 15 weeks now. And no, there is no fighting or feather pecking going on.

Perfectly normal. You might read about juvenile molts in this article.
