I picked up 9 chicks on May 15, 2012 from Meyer Hatchery. I've had great luck with them through the years - out of 25 chicks or so, all have been successfully sexed

. My current group are growing nicely, and include Copper Maran, Leghorn, Rhode Island Red, Silver Laced Wyandotte, Columbian Wyandotte, and Golden Buffs. My question is about the Columbian. She still has a LOT of fluff instead of feathers, even though the others have been fully feathered for weeks now. I've had other Wyandottes (and have a Silver Laced at the same age with her), but have never had such slow feathering. Anyone have any idea why? I've attached a couple of photos of the group and the Columbian. Thanks!

 
Not sure if the breed has anything to do with it. Seems I read a while back about someone with a Columbian that was developing slower. Then again some just develop at a slower rate.
