Hi from Yorkshire!

Glad you could join us here! From what you have described and given the time of year I would say your chickens are molting. This is a natural process that they go through to establish a new set of feathers. Please do check out this article ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/what-happens-when-chickens-molt
I'm sure you will find it most helpful. Good luck for the future and enjoy BYC

I would guess molting as well, but you can post pics as well.

Hello there, and welcome to Backyard Chickens! I think it could be molting, especially given the time of year, but do you have roosters? An overzealous rooster can also do a number on those poor hens. I hope you enjoy BYC as much as I have!

Sounds like molt, feeding some extra protein will help regrow their feathers and keep up their stamina. Molting can be very hard for some individuals.
