I have 7 Blackrocks and 5 Columbian black tail chickens. The Blackrocks have been losing feathers from their neck, chest and head for quite a while now. Is this just normal moulting for this breed?, it hasn't affected the Cloumbians. They are all together and fed the same diet consisting of layer pellets, mixed corn and greens. They all appear fit and healthy and are laying well.

when your not sure about a moult .check the lost feathers and see if tey hava clean tip then pick up the bird and see if it has new pens( new black feathers in a whiteopaque case coming through ,is there an blood about on the birds neck etc ,finally dust for mites and lice and rest easy
