Most chickens molt in the fall, but they can molt anytime of the year. They also can mini molt and you might not notice. Some chickens molt all at once, it will look like a feather explosion. Others will molt slowly and you may only see a few feathers.
I have never seen any of mine molt, except occasionally I'll find more feathers in the yard or one will show up tail less.
