Are Wyandottes late featherers?

[itsazoo]

My chicklets are almost 5 weeks old and I've got 2 Columbian Wyandottes that aren't near as feathered as the rest.

One of the two has really red skin around the base of some pin feathers, especially on her wings & neck. None of the other birds pick on her (she's actually near the top of the pecking order) and I don't ever see her picking at herself. They are both growing, eating & pooping normally.

My question is: Is this within the range of normal feathering?

My silver laced wyandottes have feathered comparatively to my EE's. They are pretty much all feathered now at 5 weeks.

Pictures MAY help. Perhaps it's the variety.

my SLW roos feathered out MUCH slower than the hens

I'll post a picture when I get home from work. Thanks!

Waiting on the pics but I know that males usually feather much slower than females. Both my SLW pullets had feathers very early even compared to my other chicks.
