I am a breeder of White Langshans, White Cochins, Silkies, and Light Brahmas. The main breed i'm working on are White Langshans. I show them at the fair and in the previous year have gotten grand Champion and Reserve Champion with them. I have a decent amount of chickens. My pen consists of many breeds, mainly exotics. Some of the random breeds I have are Belgian Bearded D'Anvers, Buff Polish, Cochin Frizzles, Egyptian Fayoumi's(not a big fan), a variety of production breeds(Silver Laced Wyandottes, New Hampshires, Sex-Links,etc), and many many more. I take very good care of my birds, I love them. I am here on this website to ask a question. I recently received a Black Cochin Frizzle Baby from a Hatchery, he is two and a half months old, and all of the other chickens around him have feathers. But he does not. He has some feathers on his feet and wings, and a little bit on top of his head, but everywhere else hes naked. I was wondering if that is normal for the specific breed to not get feathers in for along time? Or if that is an unusual case. Im trying to figure it out because ive never seen anything like it!

. I think Frizzles can take longer to feather out but I don't raise chickens so I'm not sure
