I have 3 new chicks, all supposedly about 10 days old from the feed store. I have had them for 3 days now. Two of the chicks are growing feathers noticeably, on their wings and little tail feathers sprouting. The barred rock has barely any feathers on the wings and none on the tail. It has probably 3 feathers at the tip of the wings, compared to the other two whose wings look fully feathered. Do BR grow their feathers more slowly than other breeds? It appears healthy and happy, eating, drinking, pooping just fine. Just wondered if they were late sprouters.
