All of my chicks are getting wing feathers, except one. Added pics.

If that one chick is a different breed than the others, that could explain the difference in development.
And, no, it doesn't look like a Silkie to me either.
 
Well, dang. They told me it was a silkie at the feed store... what is it?

I don't really care so much, but I do hope it's NOT a rooster. I live in the city-no roosters allowed.
 
I've had silkies and never had one look like that, it's not a silkie (I don't think)

yep, not a silkie. silkies will have black/dark grey beaks, feet, and skin. and will have 5 toes.
 
I know you probably don't want to hear this, but in my experience, those who take longer to feather out end up being roos.
