4 week old chick has no feathers

[Memcd]

Thank you to all who responded to my question regarding chicken feathers. I guess only time will tell. She's the friendliest of the group always first to check out my hand. She's not sick, she's eating & drinking. Maybe she's just a late bloomer! :-}

Can you post a pic?

I had one Cochin rooster who still had no feathers at 6 weeks. MPC gets their birds from Meyer which I think guarantees 90% sexing chicks (most hatcheries do) so 1 out of 10 chicks can be expected to be male. I've had one rooster out of an order of 25 chicks from Ideal hatchery. I was able to quickly rehome him with a hen.

Do you mind giving us an update on how your chick ended up? Was it a hi? I have a chick in this exact situation at four weeks.
