Today...
I will have breakfast out
Think about should I add my non medicated chick starter with layer feed for my laying hens to increase their protein intake. Why do I want to increase protein?....their feather looking rather dull and tatted.
Cooking and complaining about the weather😁
 
Good Morning All
3 things I will do today? I have more than 3 things and 1 of the thing that I must do today is causing me headache.
That is I must think deep and decide to whether to order the vitamins supplement for my chickens.
We had a prolonged wet weather that resulted in them hosting so much worms, so worms treatment.
Now we are having long hot weather, they drink too much water, having watery poops, and their feather are looking tattered.
So I am guessing, yes guessing that the heat and loose poops have excreted all their vitamins and ......thus the bad looking feather.

Treatment: Give them vitamin supplement...

It is not simple keeping chickens at all. I have so much to learn about keeping chickens.

Maybe it's time for them to molt? Where on this blue planet are you located? You can put it in your profile, it makes it easier for us to help you when you have difficulties.

Thank you @BigBlueHen53
I am in Australia and it is summer over here, these tattered feather hens are not molting, it would be good that they do, but they are not.

I think because of all the rain before, and now the heat , these just did it to their system. I think the quick fix is to give them vitamin drink just in case of vitamins deficiency. They eat, drink, and do the chicken things so they are not sick.

Egg laying is optional with my heritage breed hens. They lay egg whenever they fancy it, and most of them take a day or 3 off, and lay just about 1 or a few a week. I am giving electrolytes today as the weather is so hot.
