Hi all! I hatched 3 chicks all about 2 weeks ago! One of them, Steve (12 days old), is growing in these random lifted feathers. Both of his parents are smooth-feathered, as shown in the pictures provided, so I’m unsure where these gene came from if this is a sign of frizzling (sneaky recessive...

Hi everyone! I have three baby chicks, one 13 days old, two 10 days old. I was curious about why if I scratch their booties on either side of their vents, two of them do a little wiggle or “poop dance” as I like to call it. I wasn’t sure if that was just them being weird or maybe indication...
