Is this how the wing feathers should look?

[Eggnonymous]

Here's one of my little Blk. Austr. and her feathers are sooo much larger/longer than the other chicks (even the other Blk. Aust.). She looks like a June bug (guess that will end up being her name

) when their little wings sticking out out. It is just amazing how fast their feathers are coming in, but she seems to be waaay out front in the race. Just hope it's not a problem.

Thanks - I feel better now! Was worried that I might have an abnormality going here.

I have some "mutts" 2 weeks old now from our isa brown hens and australorp rooster.. i was wondering too about the wing size.. which seems huge for a small chick.
