Thanks everyone!

I have a question, I'm hoping I don't need to start a thread, but my 3.5 week old rooster, Stephen, a BPR is growing nicely, looks like a jailbird, lol, however he's got two round little balls spots on his carpals?? The bendy part of the wing. Is this normal? I have 12 other chicks, supposed to be all pullets and they're fine. I chalked it up to his feathers probably take longer and grow longer than these little lady feathers, but now I'm wondering if this isn't right. Help!

Thanks

The cockerels feather out slower and differently than the pullets. Give him a few more weeks and he'll fill in.
