My little broody is loosing all her tail feathers???

[HappyHenMama]

I'm very concerned about my OEGB, Goldie. She is caring for a 5 week old chick and yesterday when I let her out of her coop i noticed one of her tail feathers was missing. Today I let her and her little guy out to free range and ALL but 2 of her tail feathers is gone! She gets to free range most of the day, always has access to fresh food and water and is in a seperate coop from the rest of the flock. What could be happening? I'm so worried about her. Is there something I should be doing for her? Please any help is appreciated.

If she is apparently healthy in all other aspects, I would not worry. She is probably entering a molt. Many hens do so while raising chciks.
