In the Brooder
I'm new to chick raising and recently purchased 12 baby chicks, 2 lavender orpingtons 5 buff orpingtons and 5 gold sex links. The buffs seems to be a few weeks older than the sex links and the lavenders appear to only be about a week or so old, today I noticed both of the lavender orpingtons are missing all the feathers on their wings, appears to be bare bone. Wondering what's causing this and if I should possibly separate them from the others. I haven't noticed and of the other chicks pecking at them. And they are all currently in a brooder(36x36x24) in my barn with a red heat lamp, the temp directly bellow the light is about 95deg fluctuating some with the temp swings at night. Thanks in advance hoping to figure out what's going on
