She is brand new to me. She is a two year old WHITE ROCK HEN. I am new at this chicken thing so I have taken the advice of BYC and quarranteened her. She has only been in this cage for 2 days. It looks like her feathers are coming off in the cage. I am looking for a larger cage for her, but this is the best I can do for now. Is she loosing the feathers because of stress or is this what 2 year olds do?
 
Unless there are any other symptoms, molting. Sudden changes can bring on a molt, plus this is a time of year that many birds molt. Definitely better now than in December.
