Here's Violet, a Polish chick who's likely about 3 weeks old (that's how long I've had her at least). I noticed her feathers this morning and I've never seen anything like this? I have one other Polish chick and her feathers are completely normal (and much more developed, but they could be different ages?).
Some of Violet's feathers, mostly the ones that grew in first as far as I can tell, are really narrow near the tips, having a sort of pinched-in appearance.
The rest of her feathers are normal, and she's healthy and growing and behaving normally, so I'm not concerned but I am really curious if anyone knows what this is from, because in 9 years of chicken raising I've never seen it!
