My Rhode Island Red, Lemon, started molting in November. She dropped feathers on her chest, belly, back, and saddle areas.
I'm hoping someone can point me to a good read on the molting process. How long can it go on, how long before she starts laying again? Will all her feathers be replaced or just some?
 
Out of curiosity have you checked her for mites?
No, I did not. At appears to be just molting. I don't see evidence of mites in their coop or on her. It's kind of cold for them right now.
After her feathers dropped she quickly had the little pin feathers come in. She's back to fully feathered. I'm kind of curious about when she will get back to laying eggs.
