Yes, it's perfectly normal for them to moult during this season when they're not laying as much anyway.
Is the feather loss mainly on their backs, chests and possibly around their bums? This would be normal and it only takes a few weeks and they'll be back to normal.
It's best to let her get on with it and not try to prevent the moult; it's a normal cycle that they have to go through. As long as she doesn't have mites they will be fine.
Hope this helps :)
thankyou she realy looks funny, just like shes ready for oven nearly poor thing
