Two of my 8 month old aracuana crosses have very little barbs or mass to their tail feathers. The feathers on the top of their backs are untidy as well. They were normal until about 3 weeks ago, where the white one began having untidy feathers. I assumed it was due to her being broody and getting messed up in the coop.
The brown one has had messy feathers for about a week.

Is this a symptom of a disease, or just bad genetics? I also put a picture of a black hen whose feathers are normal.
