Hi Everyone! New here and new to chickens so please bear with me. I have a Gold Star pullet that is 5 weeks old. I noticed about a week ago that she looks like she is having a bad hair day. Her big girl feathers are coming in nicely execpt that all of a sudden it looks like someone has taken her down and given her a noogie. This is all over her body, her head is still baby fuzz. I've had a few people suggest that she is moulting, but she is just a baby and she is just getting her feathers in. They can't be falling out yet?! She doesn't have any bald patches, I don't see anyone else beating on her, and she rips around and is eating. Her feathers started coming in normal, but then have started to grow in 12 different directions. Like I say, she looks like she just climbed out of bed after a tough night. Any suggestions? Thanks.
