I thought those were the only places my chickens were melting too but then I gently lifted up the feathers along their sides and found out that I was wrong they look like Porcupines under there!Yeah definitely weird molting happening! One of my faverolles pullets is "selectively molting" just her tail and some of her neck. She's no where near old enough to molt, obviously she didn't get the memo.
ETA:don't panic people, my chickens are not melting.
I repeat, NOT MELTING!
Go back to whatever you were doing.
Nothing to see here.
