    My hens look a mess!

    Hey chicken keeping community! I am popping on her to ask some advice on my ugly hens... Lately my flock has been quite raggedy looking, broken feather, missing feathers, dirty feathers; this is mostly just a feather issue. I have 4 different pens all varying in ages: one maybe 3 years old...
