Chick with strange feather growth

[Peter_Rabbit_Farm]

The one chick has been growing her feathers in strange. She is a sapphire gem chick. At 8-10 weeks here are some photos

Hi there, I don't think the photos came through, could you try re-attaching them?

If anyone has any idea on what this could be I would like to know

Are these photos all of the same chicken? I don't see anything amiss with the feathers of the first chicken. The missing patches in the other two photos could be normal from growth, since young chickens grow faster than their feathers. It's possible that there could be some feather picking going on, particularly if this pullet is low on the pecking order or if they have been crowded together.

The one chick is for reference to how the other grew in feathers to compare the one with strange feather growth

Also the coop is massive, with only 35 adults in it, so I doubt it is overcrowding. Maybe it is that the chick is growing too fast for the feathers, though they are 8 weeks approximately. Photos are of the coop size

That's pretty messed up. Did she get something sticky on her?

No, nothing got stuck to her that’s just how the feathers grew in. I noticed after the age of two weeks that her feathers were growing in strange

She is not picked on either, so i think the feathers are just coming in really weird
