White leghorn molting

Do white leghorns molt in late June?

They'll molt mostly during warm months and it can happen (usually) between 18 and 24 months of age.

Thank you! She is right at 16 months and this is the first one to do it, so I was hoping it was normal. So many feathers…

We have about 35+/- chickens and 7 turkeys in our main flock. When molting season begins, it looks like Grandma's feather bed exploded. Piles of feathers like snowdrifts.
