My Salmon Favorelle seems really slow to feather compared to my other chicks that are the same age.
They are almost 3 weeks old and the Wyandottes have nearly all their wing feathers and are practicing flying all over the brooder. The Australorp is close behind with just a few more wing feathers to come in - but she's also flying around.
The youngest of the bunch - a buff orp who is just over a week old has way more feathers on her wings than even the Fav!
Considering they are all in the same brooder - I would have thought they would have feathered at roughly the same time - but I'm beginning to see that isn't true.
Very odd - just curious to see what others have experienced as far as feathering.
The order of chicks in the photo are: Favorelle, Buff Orp, Australorp and Wyandotte. All are 3 weeks except the BO who is 1 week. Go figure!
