This isn't exactly an emergency, but I didn't know where else to post this. I've got this chick who's about two months old. I've had to keep her out of the runs with her siblings because she's developing rather... slowly, to say the least. She was always smaller than the others, but perfectly healthy. Her siblings are fully feathered, but she looks like she's only a few weeks old. Her feathers are sort of.. flayed? Honestly, I'm not sure how to describe them. She has no frizzle genes, so that can be ruled out. If you take a look at the album I'm including, you can see that her wing sort of stays in one place most of the time. She has virtually no tail feathers at this point. She's just... a mess. Anyone have any idea what could be up with her? On the bright side, she's great with the newer chicks. :)
