do chicken feathers grow back??

i'm not really sure where to post this... i just got 5 2-3 year old hens. 2 of the hens were the roosters "favorite" lol and one just has a bad wing.

Yep they molt once a year and get new feathers in. Feathers lost from getting pulled by other chiclems do come back.
Sounds like you may want to get them some hen saddles for protection while the new feathers grow back.

yes, feathers do grow back, chickens molt once a year, my two girls are growing their feathers back, growing feathers back to full length takes awhile though.
