Feather Pulling

[Hickory_Hills]

I have six chickens. Three of which are Americaunas. I noticed that two of them are missing some tail feathers. Is this normal? Or should I separate them?
There isn’t any blood or anything. Just not sure what to do.

How old? Are they molting? Diet? Space?

Photos of the birds and your set up would help. If it is feather picking there might be blood involved if it continues to worsen.

One of my girls didn’t want to cooperate, but her tail looks just like the other.

At 13 weeks they are likely going thru a juvenile molt.....so normal.
If you look closely you may be able to see the new pin feathers emerging.
