Low fluff on a pair of sibbies

[Tbjenkins2007]

i have two chicks from my hatch last week that came from same parents. I’m guessing it’s from moms genes but their backs did not get long and fluffy. I can feel the softness... any way... anyone ever seen this? They are happy warm and seemingly healthy

Different breeds have different length of down. I would guess temperatures may have something to do with it too.

Anxiety is in full force... Day 20 starts in 2 hours and I'm so stressed that I haven't seen any pips which I know is silly.

Could I check to see if theyve internally pipped? Just to ease my anxiety :'(

Yea I figured but I was wondering if anyone had specific details, not generic ones
