Hello, I need help! My Buff Brahma hen has become super frizzy instead of her beautiful feathers. She also has had a bare area on her stomach/vent area. And now one of my golden laced Wyandotte’s is getting some frizz too. What is going on with them?! Any tips? Can tapeworms cause this?

Where are you located and how old are they?

I would suggest looking for mites and/or lice to start.

Any other odd behaviors, eating and drinking fine, did they have normal feathers before?
 
Were they out in the rain?

My first thought is that those chickens look a bit wet, but I don't whether that is related to the frizziness you are asking about.

Just to check-- that photo is showing your Brahma and another chicken, but not your Wyandotte, right?
