After worrying about my slowest to feather chick i came across the shredder gene! She's a lavender ameraucana and wondering if anyone had pics of theirs? Any health concerns?

Here's an article about it. https://www.cacklehatchery.com/shredder-gene-in-lavender-chickens/
I've never seen one with it but as most of the articles I've seen talk about breeding them back to a black chicken to keep it in check within a flock, I would think the only health concerns would be lack of good feathering to keep them warm in very cold weather.

Thanks! We aren't breeding and yeah the winter thing is one of my concerns.

Maybe a chicken saddle would help cover the wonky feathers and keep it warmer in winter.
