Of the more noticeable things are that the hens butt will fall off and your coop will look like a chicken exploded. Here's Nugget from this most recent winter:

New to chicken raising!
What shows my hen is molting? Does she loose all her feathers, or what? What will they look like? Also, when do they usually molt?
You'll start seeing full feathers that have fallen out underneath your chickens in the morning, and they look a little scraggly. My Plymouth blue is molting and her new feathers are a brighter color and have smooth edges.
