Silkie Chicks

[HannahZuni]

Hi there I just got 4 chicks that are six days old and their wing feathers are just starting to grow, but they look like normal feathers. I know that they might change, but I am concerned that I may have gotten ripped off. they have black beaks, skin, legs with feathers on them and five toes. The guy said they should be white but we might not know. Are their wings supposed to look like that? Ask for pics if need (I do not want to put them under too much stress)

Did you get them from a breeder or from TSC ? Initially some of the wing feathers may be somewhat 'normal'. But excessive hard feathering is not a good sign.

I got them from a breeder from the Kankakee Tri-K Pigeon & Bantam Club Pigeon fair. The guy I got them from was really nice let me pick my own and look at them. I check for pasty butt and all, but because they were only 5 days old when I got them and they were my first silkies I did not know much. Should I get some photos because now they are about a week old?
