Dominique chick looks different

[Bestofsmall]

This is Dot she was so cute when I got her but now it seems her nose is big & she don't have tail feathers she is 6wks old & the other 3 different breeds same age look totally different! Will she grow into that nose? She seems fine eats,drinks plays like the others just looks kind of 'strange

Her nose, is her beak, this is normal chicken growth.

Doms have a rose comb, which can make the beak look wider. She looks ok to me.

Thanks so much that makes me feel better she just looks so different than the others she is smaller too but so sweet

My Australorp looked weeks behind my other breed girls at 6 weeks - skinny lil neck, hardly any feathers on it, long wispy tail. She caught up and they're all on par now. Breeds mature at different times.

If you said she was acting funny, wouldn't eat, etc. I'd worry. It's hard because they're very small and it seems like anything could take them out, but if they're telling you it's all good with their behavior - it's usually all good.

Let us know how she goes! (and if she grows into her nose)
