I had a partridge rock feather out very slow like that. I know it wasn't lack of nutrients because I had 29 other chicks feathering great with him. I think it has to be genetics. But he eventually feathered out just fine.

They will hide for up to a few hours. Specially if they were very close to the hawk or had a close call with it. When your sure the hawk is gone. Try calling with treats.

I will be hatching two full incubators all the till July probably. Well that's if they keep selling on Craigslist. Witch they have been selling in 24 hours just about every hatch. I just got ducks so duck eggs next year.
