I can say I think she may have grown some more feathers now. But mostly by her chest/crop area. She's still doing good though, just still really tiny in comparison to the other chicks and the obvious lack of feathers.

I'll try that, reason I posted it here was because we have a chicken with very similar symptoms. =/

Hi there, we have two birds recently come down with similar symptoms but have no idea what is actually going on or how to help them. One is a young turkey poult only about 6-8wks old and the other is a d'uccle that is over a year old....

Yeah, her momma is a bantam barred rock cross. Don't know who daddy is, we have a variety of roosters over here.

Okay, so I've got some pictures of her now.  

As far as I remember she didn't look any different then the rest of the batch. Now that I look at the NN thread she has less feathering then most of the birds on there that are similar in age.
