I've had my chicks now for about a week and a half. I don't know their age, however, because I got them from a feed store.
My RIR has gotten bigger, but she doesn't seem to be feathering out. She has wing feathers, but not much. There are the long ones at the end and shorter ones throughout. The others have wings that look like...wings already. Her's are just little short feathers.
I've noticed lately(like today and yesterday) that she was laying around a lot. She's still eating and drinking, and can still stand and walk. Is she just getting too heavy? She was sold as a RIR...light, orange-ish color with darker chipmunk stripes on her back and one on her head. Comb looks like a single comb, feet are a pinkish color. Her wings have black in them.
Here's a picture from the day I got them, she still looks similar but is larger. Wings are still the same. She can stand straight, I realize it looks like she's about to sink down in that picture.
