Ever had a "naked" chick?

[Duker17]

I have a 6 week old GLW that has virtually no feathers, just a little fuzz. The other 2 I got at the same time, (same place, same breed) are fully feathered and growing out nicely. Any ideas what could be the problem with the little ugly one?

May just be a roo- some feather in waaaaaaaaaay slow.

A roo was my original thought, it's just so weird having a naked bird!!

I had 2 black cockerals last year that I thought had some weird thing going on because the were naked for a looooong time. Nope, just lazy dudes. Turned out to be gorgeous roosters once they got with the program.

my columbian wyandotte was a really ugly, naked chick.... I never thought she would feather in and it took weeks longer than the others chicks of the same age....

and finally feathered in...

Wow nice looking chicken when it's all done but that's a long ugly stage.

Don't worry, I had several Wyandottes that were quite naked at that age that grew up to be beautiful.

At 12 weeks the morning that her back feathers came in:

and at about 30 weeks.
