My neighbor and I are noticing signs of molting in our flocks. It's so early! Is anyone else seeing this?

Isn't it awfully early for molting?Yep, my Brown Leghorn is currently molting too, coop looked like there'd been a pillow fight in there the last few mornings
Yes, my other birds have only ever lost their feathers in the fall, she's a bit of a panicky, flighty girl, molted at an unusual time once before, and I had no idea why - then saw the muddy raccoon prints on the outside of the coop - had tried to get in there overnight - luckily its secure, and the birds were safe, but hearing all that scrabbling must have frightened her and the molt was a stress response.Isn't it awfully early for molting?
