    Cornish Cross no feathers?

    I have 10 Cornish cross chicks (this is my second time raising up Cornish x), they're all about 2 weeks old, and one is nearly completely naked on her back! It's like there's not even an idea of feathers except head, tail, belly, and wings! She's also the smallest of them all. I know they're...

    Featherless wings?

    Hi! I was watching my chicks tonight and I noticed that every single one of two specific breeds of my chicks have these bare spots on their wings. My other breeds do not. I was wondering if anyone might have any suggestions as to what it could be or if it’s just part of their breed. I believe...
