none of chickens lay yet can they already molt?

Hey Sara.... If I remember correctly, mine all lost the first real feathers before they were laying. I think its part of the original process of getting their first feathers. My original flock is in their first molt and they look terrible.

there should be 10 primary feathers on the wing right?
