I was wondering if my chickens are molting? If not then what's wrong with them? All of them seem to have these bare spots on them and some are even missing feathers on the end of their wing. Some keep pecking on each other so it is kinda hard for the feathers to grow back.... I want the feathers back ASAP because I'am planning on showing some in the summer

and Welcome To BYC! It could be a combination of things including molting, but that looks more like feather plucking or rooster damage (do you have a rooster?) There is a nice article in the Learning Center on Bully behavior in chickens and what you can do to help prevent feather plucking
