One of these things is not like the others...

Moved my meat birds out today at 4 weeks old, and I’m puzzled by this featherless wonder. I am supposed to have all Red Rangers, but this one is a little different... hatchery (Beau Peep in BC, Canada) also provides CX and dark Cornish as meat breeds. Any thoughts on what it might be? This is the best pic I have of it, and I don’t want to stress them out too much trying to recatch it for more photo ops, until I separate them into two batches in another week or two.

I would guess that it is just a slow feathering Red Ranger - it happens sometimes.

Darn... I was hoping for a $5 off of the price of the Dark Cornish shipping error

I agree with @sourland slow feathering Red Ranger

Chicks are like kids, some mature slower than others.

Well then, this one is definitely table bound! Thanks for the reassurance, I’m glad it’s not anything to do with my husbandry.
