My babies are 3 months old and seem to be starting another molt. It's been a long time since I've had baby chicks but seem to remember this happened with chicken chicks.

What is the normal schedule for feather growth and molting in their first year?

It’s hard to say, they get their first adult feathers around two months, they usually look like scrappy adults around three months. I’ve had some molt their adult feathers as soon as they got them, most of my others don’t molt their adult feathers until they’re a year old though, usually some time in summer.
