I’m not sure if this is normal. Both my Brahma chicks, (unsure of Hatch Date but no later than 2/23,) seem a bit bald...one is way worse than the other , but I can’t figure out if it’s natural development and an awkward stage or something different. Both Brahmas are much more low activity than the other birds.
The other question is about my Dominique. I bought it at TSC with the Brahmas. It seems physically behind. It’s notably smaller than the olive Egger, (2/14 hatch) and Speckled Sussex, Americauna (2/21 hatch) (though I bought those at a breeder) and hasn’t developed tail feathers, even though I know it can’t be much younger than the others...in fact, it was in the same bin as the Brahmas at TSC. That said, it seems fine otherwise, flying like a bowling ball into the ball of birds around the feeder and scattering them, or walking over them to eat...it certainly eats well, is active, has the best personality. Think it could be a bantam?
