No tail feathers of fluff?

[ok1242]

I have several hens with no tail feathers or fluff. It is like the tail feathers were cut off. Has anyone ever seen this before or know why this is?

Are they Arucanas? They (the true ones) are rumpless.....

I have the same thing on some B.O's I bought. I gave them some good birdseed with sunflower seeds in it and i think the feathers are growing back slowly. hard to tell these birds are much more skittish than the ones I raised from 1 day old. i think they had a chicken pulling there feathers before I got them.
