Ok, so i have a four day old chick and today i have noticed the fluff from the tips of its wings are coming off. This is my first hatch, so im not sure if that is normal or not? Please help!! And thanks for reading.

Ive never seen that with mine. Is it only on one of your chicks?

Do you have a pic? That sounds normal - it's what happens when they are getting feathers and going through juvenile molts.

I have just never noticed. If they all are loosing it then its no problem. If its only one, then you may have another issue. They definitely loose that down at some point.

Looks fine. I wouldn't worry, it's just growing those feathers.
