I'm pretty sure only one of them are losing the feathers she only just recently grew in. Feathers are being lost from almost every part of the body, but mostly from the feathers between legs and around that area. I don't think they're picking at each other because the feathers lost aren't bloody, but then again I can never be too sure. They get plenty of time outdoors. It's springtime, so why would they be going into a molt? I am completely mystified and definitely concerned. She is the bigger one of the two and also has a pale/greyish face.

Any help, or is this normal and that's why no one's replying? Because I did know that I put on a topic about a dust bath
 
Except for occasional sneezing, yes. I didn't think it was molting because it's springtime and they get plenty of time outside so it's not like they're deprived of light or anything, plus, I'm not too sure how fast chickens molt but they don't look especially raggedy even though I've found lots of feathers so far.
