Is This Normal????

Awkward feathering ,Wings,extremely long legs etc, just super “Awkward”.

What about now? Photos would help.

A couple of my newly hatched mutts have wings just like that!! I was wondering if it denotes gender as well! I hope someone can tell us what is going on. These are my first hatched eggs so I have no clue.

I've had plenty of newly hatched chicks, but none that have developed wings like this in the first 5 days!!!

As of yesterday it appears that the different parts of the wings developed at a rather different rate than normal. It would seem now that the wing feathers are coming in to complete the wing in a more normal fashion. It's hard to get photos as these chicks never stop moving, but I did my best!

The only thing cuter than baby chicks are baby chicks with Mother hens!

So here is the chick now at 3 weeks old. His (her?) wings are much more developed than the rest of the chicks, but normal. One of the other chicks, I call her the "orange" chick stood right in front of me when I was taking photos. I took a shot of her front and turned to take one of another chick. I heard a "cheep" that was quite loud and turned to find that she turned around for me to photo her back! True story! Here is the two of them (out of six).

We are close. We are on the south fork of the Feather River. What's dd?? Yes, the paradise fire was super bad, we were in the smoke and had to wear a mask at home for days on end. Very bad situation.
