Do you know the breed of the chick pictured? What is it about the feathering on the wings that you are referring to - color, amount? The wings are the first part of a chick to feather out, so if it is just the fact that the wings are well feathered that has you concerned it doesn't mean anything other than your chick is developing normally.Hi that photo of the chick - he/she is 10 days old . We had another chick born 3 days ago and he/she already has a small crown thing on its beak, does this mean it's a boy ? And the 10 day old chick (the one in photo) hardly has feathers on it's bum, what does this mean ?
No, not neccesarily. All chickens have combs, which are visible from hatch. Only if the comb quickly becomes large or red at an early age can you start thinking cockerel.Hi that photo of the chick - he/she is 10 days old .
