How long does juvenile molt last? How much feather loss is there? Our thirteen-week-old barred rock chicks seem to be molting for a long time. They're healthy; eat, drink, poop, act healthy and happy. They don't seem itchy or distressed. We don't see anything which looks like mites or lice. Are they ok?
 
When they are younger like your birds are, they can go through several molts for their first few months. After they reach a year old then it is pretty much a once a year thing.
