Very helpful, thank you Cottage Gal! I just wanted to make sure I didn't get one with some sort of feather mutation or something silly like that. Glad to know he's not the only bald chick around!
That does make sense. I don't have another glw to compare him to as he was a free chick that came with an order of leghorn Roos. But he's healthy and playful and its 100+ here in Texas so maybe he's just smarter than everyone else by not growing feathers ;)
Here's my now 6 week old golden laced Wyandotte. Judging by the wattles, I'm assuming it's a he. He is feathering so slowly, and everywhere that used to have down is bald! He's really an ugly duckling! Anyone else have theirs have patchy bald spots??

I ordered the Frying Pan Special (male leghorns) from McMurray and forgot to uncheck the 'free rare breed' box. Well, looks like we've got ourselves a GLW! I guess if it turns out to be a she, she'll make a nice layer with our Buff Orpington ladies and if she turns out to be a HE, it'd be...
