Can someone tell me why all of a sudden my 13 week old chicken is loosing feathers? It's not a lot but and there are no bald spots but there are feathers on the ground. Do they molt? Is this normal because it's so hot??
Not to worry they may shed some feathers as they grow new ones. There are several different degrees of molts. Some birds may go through a light molt and you really don't notice except there are some feathers laying on the ground, then there are heavy molts where they loose a lot of feathers and are nearly bald.
