It is January 2018 in Eastern PA. My birds are well cared and get well fed but their feathers still aren't looking too good. I have 12 hens and 1 rooster. I get a dozen eggs per day but sometimes only 11. How long does the molt last? They look pretty scruffy and some have feathers missing on the back. The rooster is a mating addict. Good grief! I am wondering if my girls are missing feathers from being "ridden" constantly or if something else is wrong? The rooster tail is also kind of straggly. Any thoughts?
