Paranoid?

[rookiechk]

So I'm hoping I'm being paranoid but do all baby chicks look this way when they start getting their feathers in or is there maybe something wrong with them?

That's what mine look like. I hear their next phase is even more unsightly.

Yes they are fine

EEK!!! Oh well. As long as my girls are healthy I'll be alright with it.

Mine are looking all funny right now, too. And they feel like they have stuff stuck in their fluff. So weird! But we tell them how nice they look with their big girl feathers coming in. I have red sex-link, and some of them are getting dark reddish feathers. They will be beautiful! Yours will, too. Yeesh. Can't believe I just said a chicken would be beautiful! Ha!

Looks normal. They do sort of go through an awkward vulture-y stage as they get their grown up feathers.

Yours look great compared to my 3 1/2 week old Wyandottes. They remind me of baby teradactyles.
