Rooster??

She may just be molting. Also the bird in the pic looks like a pullet. See how the feathers on the neck are rounded? Roosters have narrower and much pointier feathers on their necks (hackle feathers) They also hav similarly shaped feathers on their backs that droop down by their tails. Those are called saddle feathers. Hope that helps.

That helps a lot, thank you! I always thought chickens have to be at least 16 months old to molt, but maybe her feather loss is normal part of grown up feathers coming in. I will attach pics of the one that's losing feathers, her name is Peter

Molting at three months? I suppose she could be losing her chick down still.

Actually pullets do molt. It usually is partial and not noticable read about it here

Here is an article that talks about juvenile molting.

Hmm that’s is really red for 2 months…

But I’ll need better body pics that are actually close. I am leaning towards pullet though.
