I have a chicken who has been moulting for 4 months now. She's lost almost all of her feathers. She did have blood feathers coming in for a while, but she's lost those as well. There are 3 other chickens all the same age who have not moulted yet, and have full feathers. This one doesn't act weird, she is a bit clucky, but I think that's a personality thing. Her breasts are red and hard like a big scab. It looks painful. her whole under belly up to the wings and tail is completely bare. She's smaller than the other one of her breed. She has wing, neck, and head feathers only. What is the problem? Like I said she lost the blood feathers that were coming in.
You know I say she doesn't act weird, but the other day I let them out to forage. Three went out for the whole day. After an hour she went back to the roost and just sat in the shade. Before she's gone out and stayed with them.
