Haven't been able to figure this out-I have 3 hens who have feathers that's look like they have been cut. But they are a little sharp and it's just the shaft of the feathers. Can anyone help me with what this might be? It's not from mating.

Those are pin feathers. There are brand new feathers in those sheaths. Completely normal.

Cushion/walnut comb, which means he's got both pea and rose comb genes so odds of him having a blue shell gene are pretty good. He's Birchen, so expect lots of black chicks from him. Also looks like he might be pure for silver. Only way to know what his egg color genes are like is to breed him and find out what the pullets lay.

I don't think they are new. 2 of my hens have had a 2 inch section for about 6 months now.

He was suppose to be my pullet olive egger. Half marans, half Easter egger, but we learn from our mistakes. As Junebuggena said when I first got him. Probably cream legbar, Wyandotte, Easter egger and marans. So want a green egg. Guess I'll try the Easter egger and Barnevelder,and australorp pullets. Can't thank y'all enough
