I'm sure it is not exploding, especially all the time. It would only take one explosion, and the chicken would be dead.
However, the chicken could be molting. When a chicken molts, it loses many of its feathers in a short period of time. The chicken might look a little rough for a while, until the new feathers grow in. The feathers that dropped all over the coop may look like an explosion took place.
