I posted this question in What Gender or Breed is This and it was suggested that I post over here to maybe find an answer. I have six 4-5 week old chicks. I am confused as to what is going on with the feathers of one of them. I am new to owning chickens so this might be a stupid question and I might not word it right so bear with me. Five of the chicks have nice smooth feathers but this one chick's feathers are coming in looking wispy, meaning they split off at the ends like a peacock. Is it a breed thing? Here are some pictures to show what I am poorly describing:
You can see them on her/his chest, the wings look normal to me
Then along her back they get wispy
Am I crazy?
