Hi everyone!
I was hoping someone could help explain if this feathering’s normal in Bantam chicks? It’s only in 2 out of the 3 chicks. Thanks a lot!

Not sure what you are looking at in photo #1, but #2 looks like you have a frizzle bantam.
Frizzling is where the feathers curl up and away from the body, it is a genetic thing and makes them look incredibly cute :)
It is normal, but affected chicks don't fly well and have a hard time reaching perches, so put up a significantly lower perch for the little guy.
btw - welcome :frow
