Seems like a lack of biotin.
humans get brittle fingernails and hair loss when deficient

It's not hair loss tho man. The rest of the bird is feathering out great, just the protien sheath are growing right with the feather.

Patience... See what they do on their own, or cull them. Chickens have been growing feathers a long time!

Sounds great! I vaguely remember a pick from a while back that Texicano posted. I think it was Grey with a huge tail.

Yeah that's him, big ol majestic tail!
Doesn't look like he'll have that this season tho if I don't find a fix.

Why?

It looses most of it's oils and nutritional values within 24hrs of being cracked

The Radio Hatch started before the other ones, the protein sheath disintegrates and leaves behind a jacked up feather.

We’re not talking about junk cracked corn and stuff you buy at tractor supply. It’s southern states rooster booster.

How long ago did the sheath come off? Maybe you remember me asking about louse control this summer? I had some stags that were showing the same feathering just as they were going through a molt and stressed from the lice. I didn't think they would look right, but they came trough just fine.
