Noticed my 2 Isa Browns were losing feathers on their chests, had a look at them and it looks very dry, as though they had bathed too much in some dirt.. They've lost some feathers across the chest and Ive had a good look for any mites for which I cant see any at all, and the other girls are fine, no dryness or loss of feathers... Any ideas ? I'll obviousley keep an eye on them over the weekend

Is she in Molt?  How old is she?

[stamford]

they're approx a year old, maybe a little less

I would guess that she is moulting then.
