Molting??

[Tina_323]

Hi,
I have 7 hens in my flock they are almost two years old. They started molting in November and 6 out of 7 have their beautiful new feathers.
I am noticing one is still looking like she's loosing feathers (Not sure if she started late?) How do I know if she's molting or there something else going on.
I don't notice any pecking at her (but I'm not in the coop with them either!) Help

She's molting. Some birds have a full blown molt and are completed in a matter of weeks. Others molt a bit at a time. She appears to be in the latter group.

Agreed, looks like a molting chicken to me!

You might follow this. It gives some helpful information about molting and how to tell molting from feather pecking. It's always good to cover all your bases.

I also strongly suspect molting.
