If your chickens are housed with other chickens my guess is that the other chickens plucked the feathers. That's what happens to our chickens.
Chickens are plucked. Though this is true without first sheering a sheep. :)
Depending on how concerned you are about how the feathers are produced. Even if you buy them at the store be careful most are NOT fake. They are real, they will say real or natural or sometimes nothing. If they are imitation they will most likely label them that way. I have been doing research myself looking for artificial feathers. The overall answers is that the bulk feathers are from the meat industry. But from what I have heard id the Peacock feathers are from molting season, the birds are not killed or forcibly plucked. But I found out they are making polyester feathers just have to find out who supplies them in the US. I will update if I find anything :) Good luck.
This is normal. What you are more than likely seeing is the hair follicles under the skin. Even though there may not be a hair growing out of this follicle, it still has mass and the skin is very thin in this region, thus making it look like chicken or turkey skin after the feathers are plucked.
The past participle of "pluck" is "plucked."
