My chicks will be 4 weeks old Wednesday. I have 5 Wellsummers - 4 pullets and 1 roo. However, one of the pullets is not feathering out like her siblings or any of the other chicks. 4 of the Wellies have gotten their darker colored feathers in and have nice tailfeathers, but this little gal is still colored up like she was when she arrived. Her real feathers don't seem to be coming in, and she also seems pretty undersized. Is she just a late bloomer, or is there something wrong with her? Her appetite seems good, but she just doesn't seem to be maturing at the same rate as any of the other chicks and in comparison to the other Wellies she's pretty tiny. Here are some pictures of her:
I'll try to get some pics of her siblings this evening, so you can see a comparison of her versus them.
Thanks for any insight.
