I got 3 BO chicks for my broody hen from TSC. One of them is beginning to develop some light coloration on the tops of her feathers. This is my first time with BOs so I don’t know if this is a normal coloration of chicken down or if perhaps I have something other than a BO.

Hmm. I see what you mean! the whiteish tips are on what look like more "damaged" so to say feathers, it looks like the darker ones underneath are more uniform. Perhaps it's just something on those chick feathers but their more mature feathers growing in underneath are more solid? but it's peculiar I'm not sure. Are there any dark feathers with a white tip?
