Molt under 3 months old?

[apoe]

Yes I am still new to this and asking stupid questions!
So a few days ago I cleaned out the coop and looked like a bird exploded for all the feathers. I figured the dominant RIR must be getting rough with them. Three of the RIR have been looking a little rough feather wise now big one is starting to also. I noticed an almost bald spot on his neck when he stretched whick when I looked at it is full of what look like pin feathers. The other reds I have picked up feel prickly to touch in spots. They are just under three months old is that too young to Molt should I be looking for another issue? It's only the RIR not my wyandottes queens or giants.

Young chicks molt several times before adulthood, it's normal

If you can post photos, some members might be able to confirm that all is well and it's just a molt. Mine will usually go through 3 rounds before "stopping" at about 5 months with their adult feathers. It's good to be mindful of these things though, because there's always the risk of mites/lice or feather picking.
