Feeding fonmertal will definitely help.
Check with the store you buy your chicken feed at. They will have water soluble tonic for a vitamin boost. Your chickens are molting and all their energy is going into renewing feathers right now.
just go to the farm near lumby
They start going into laying at about 6 months of age although this could differ from breed to breed

Feed them starter until they are 6 to 8 weeks old. Then feed them grower until they are almost fully grown, have all of their feathers, or have most of their feathers and little down. Then when they are about the size they are going to get, give them laying mash if they are hens. They also make food for roosters too!
She's going to have eggs soon. Or she might die. 0_0 I feel so bad for you.
Yes. The actual foot of a chicken only has part of the ankle bones. Breeders call the area the "hock" and "hock joint". In most breed the "hock joint" is where the feathers end and the bare area starts going down to the feet. This excludes Cochins and some other breeds who have feathers down to the toes.
They weight exactly the same amount. Of course its going to take more feathers to make 100 lbs so the feathers are going to have a greater mass.
There could be a few reasons why your chicken has ruffled feathers. It could have just been "bothered" by a rooster and hasn't done it's feather care yet. They usually shake and preen for a bit after to put things back into place. The chicken could be sick and one of the first signs is lack of sheen and feather placement. The same way people often look sick, so do chickens. Try a Tonic in their water, this adds any missing vitamins and helps feather them out. Your hen could be going into molt. This is natural and is a replacement time for the chickens feathers, they do this once per year.
That is an answer that cannot be answered. Every bird is going to have a different amount of feathers depending on what has happened to it or its age.
On a A young budgies head, it will have striped feathers going all the way to its nostrils. As the bird matures these feathers get replaced by plain feathers, they will be replaced about as far back as the eye.
