losing feathers

[chick-lit]

My flock is about 2 1/2 months old they seem to be losing feathers like crazy I think are they molting or just losing their baby feathers?

I'm new to raising chicks so this might be a normal thing. It just seems like alot of feathers in the hen house.

They moult multiple times as they grow so yes, they could easily be moulting.

I agree. They are molting.
