What little I can see and make out.. looks like pin feathers coming in (maybe mini molt).. or possibly broken feathers.

It doesn't currently look alarming or sound like it needs a trip to the vet.

Looks like pin feathers, which means she's probably molting. Nothing of concern!

No, not really.
So she's actually pretty young?

9 weeks i was told shes a female and the guy was 95% sure so i guess theres still a 5% chance turns out being a male so i guess we’ll see

what week can you tell the gender exactly? i want to upload some pictures when they get to that age so i can have someone help me out with that would be amazing because im only allowed to keep hens in my neighborhood.

Ah...ok, she/he may just be feathering in slower.
Could you get closer pictures of the wing?
