Hi everyone,haven't been on for awhile, but am hatching again this year, I seem to have a 3 week old chick who isn't growing wing feathers, the other 3 that hatched with her have all got wing feathers, they are pekin bantams, does any one know why this might be, tia

The first 2 pics are of the chick that hasn't got wing feathers and the last pic is off one of the chicks that are getting them as normal

Hi there :frow

I've had the same with some Pekin that I hatched this year too. They eventually all caught up with each other. Each bird is individual on how fast they feather out even though they are of the same breed.[/quote
Thanks she started the same then stopped, she has bare patches and looks very odd, i have harched other years but haven't come across this before
