why am I finding so many feathers in the coop?

First off, Welcome to BYC.

You've done your homework well. Either they are in an early molt or there is a feather picker in the group. The only way you'll know is to spend a lot of time watching them.

If it is for lack of protein, you can feed them canned fish. I give mine salmon or tuna once or twice a week.

will sardines work?
