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.
