Hi Alica and welcome to the forum. 

Yes chooks can moult this time of year.   As long as some new quils are following through I wouldnt worry too much.  Some folk give them tuna/extra vitamins to help them through a moult but hey thats up to you!

Hope this helps.

My Light Sussex is moulting right now.  She's very embarrassed by the loss of her feathers.  Vane creature, she is!
When I die I will slide in sideways, a glass of wine in one hand and chocolate in the other, screaming, "Whooo hooo!  What a ride!" as life is to be enjoyed to the fullest!

I have ex-bats moulting at the moment, seems strange they pick the coldest months to run around naked  ???
