Chirping
Hi, I'm new to the whole chicken thing and one of my 2 week old cochins is, well, very bald in patches. I can see new feathers forming in some of the spots but some places no fuzz and no feathers. The only odd behavior is the chick likes to waddle/crawl to the feeder instead of standing up occasionally. Is this just some normal yet weird feather delay, mites, a vitamin issue or gender/breed issue? Will it get enough feathers? The other chicks are having no issues and I don't know if they are preening ,scratching more that usual or if I am just noticing due to worries of parasites.
Thanks
