6.5 week old chick with almost no feathers??

Okay the bird is still hideous and still has awkwardly no feathers?? She/he will be 7 weeks this Thuraday! I'll post pics of his buddies of the same age.

I mean seriously?? What the heck?!

Some birds seem to feather out painfully slow. What are you feeding them.

Uuuhg! I just want my little ostrich to be a pretty birdy they're on purina flock raiser in addition to free ranging almost all day!

One of my hens didn't get a tail until about a month or two after all the other's had theirs!

I think your feed is fine... maybe it's just a late bloomer.
It's kinda cute with all the fuzz though.

The other night it was in the low 50s (in June!) and I felt so bad for the little baby being so naked. I wish I'd had a sweater for him/her! Lol

Let us know when he finally gets his feathers in. I'm super curious now lol

I definitely will, I'm patiently waiting for either feathers or his growth spurt to ostrich size any day now
