Normal?

Is this a normal amount of feathers to be lying around. We have 3. It seems like a lot more lately than before. They are in their coop a lot more because of weather. Thanks

Are they molting? How old are they?

Probably either molting or something scared them and they beat around a bit. Losing a few feathers isn't so bad, but you probably should check for injuries and such. I found a pile of Cora's feathers once, and the moss and ground was torn up. I was scared to death a hawk had gotten her. That night, all was fine. Not a scratch on her. Its one of those things that just happens. It doesn't look like too many to me.
