I have an EE chick that's right around a month old who is growing sparse tail feathers. Is it possible she'll be rumpless and this is just a fluke or could there be something wrong with her? She acts and looks normal, aside from her adorable weird little tail feathers. She eats (Nutrena NatureWise Chick Starter Grower)
and drinks fine and is running around with the rest of the flock. I haven't been able to find similar pictures through search, so I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or know what may cause it. Thanks! :)

Just some little feathers that didn't come out properly. Will fall off the feather tips, or they can be removed manually.
