One of my chickens (Wendy), has been moulting for around 9 months or so. At first it wasn't bad, it was just a few feathers she was losing so I thought it was one of her annual moults and didn't worry about it. But lately I've noticed every time she shakes a few feathers fall out, the coop is full of feathers and so is the garden! All of the feathers on her legs have completely gone, her chest is near enough bald and her comb is rather pale. I've been monitoring her and she seems to be drinking and eating fine and also the other chicken isn't pecking her and isn't moulting. Also I've put mite powder on both the chickens and on the bedding so I dont think it could be mites. So i've started to become rather worried to why her moulting has become this bad?
Below are some pictures of her moulting..
