Frizzle feather loss cure

[Reawsphant01]

Hi guys, I have a pair of frizzle bantams and they used to be with everyone else in the flock (of 15.) They are the smallest of the flock and the rooster only breeds his frizzle wife, about a month ago, I noticed that they were losing quite a lot of feathers and they looked almost naked. So I separated them out, and gave them lots of protein (mealworms) and although I has started to grow back, I really want to return them back to the flock. So what is there I can do? How long will it take to grow their feathers back? Is there a faster way to do it (apart from gluing the feathers back )

This is them now vs what they used to look like a few months back

The one looking at the camera on both pictures is the same chicken

How old are they? At around 18 months chickens will go through their first major molt and frizzles molt very badly - they can go almost bald (poor things). Hopefully your cuties will concentrate on growing back their feathers for you. It can take a few months for them to get back to normal and it's just a waiting game, but upping their protein intake is a good idea (you could cook them up some minced beef as a treat) as feathers are mostly protein.

They will be a year old on 10 July so just 11 months.
