Sounds like the right age for molting, the heat will often start them a little early also. Watch to make sure she's not losing weight but I wouldn't panic. Some of mine have dropped so many feathers all at once I was looking for a carcass.
I've been noticing a lot of molted feathers too but it could be my juvies. I hope you hen is okay! Can you submit a pic for us?
Thanks guys! I looked at her closer this evening and she has new feather growth. Glad it was just molting. and Sorry just got in from closing up the coops and saw all of your posts so maybe a picture tomorrowAll mine have started molting here as well. Poor little things.
