I bought 2 "sumatra" chicks from a local feed store. one looks identical to an astrolorp chick I bought from another feed store. The other always looked odd. It had a duckling shaped body and teeny tiny wings with only a few feathers. you could see its skin through its very fine down. The other chicks have fledged while this one is slowly getting feathers. It is colored like the sumatra/astroplorps but has a longish looking neck and longish legs and big feet. It's down is still kind of thinish. I will try to post pics, I just couldn't wait to ask if anyone knows what the heck is going on with this odd bird.
 
pics would definitely help, my imagination is pretty crazy

It may have just been malnutritioned, deformed, or piled on too much by other chicks. . . But pics will help.
 
I have 2 bantam sumatra hens about 4 months old they seem to be true to breeding.Lets see some pic's .I know what my 2 looked like when born I hatched them from egg's.
