Bad genes?

Hello all, I purchased chicks from McMurray hatchery they were delivered (to Fairbanks AK) perfectly healthy and all started growing well. At about 4-5 weeks I noticed the partridge cochins were not growing feathers. I have whites, blues and black Cochins the same age, fully feathered now at 9 weeks. Of the 5 partridge Cochins 1 has feathered out. The other 4 are small, and mostly naked. All fed the same, no picking. I can only assume bad genetics? Any ideas?

So they partridge Cochins are supposed to develop late? Every bird in those pictures were hatched the same day. And received the same care
