Hi. A few of my chickens have "frayed" looking feathers on their butts... what's wrong? Are they diseased? I've had them all for over a year. I live in CO we had a later winter this year but have still had 60 degree to mid 80's for about a month... what should I do?

It looks like the hens are pecking out the feathers. I would look for any evidence of lice or mites, look at how much protein they are getting in feed, and if they are overcrowded.
