Hello, welcome to BYC!
I think they are getting a little too big for their brooder space.

yes they are... I believe they are getting a field trip tonight for a little while to the new home. hen again tomorrow pending weather. Should be out there full time this weekend... I don't wonder if space is not the cause of this issue that is only happening on 1 of 6 birds. Doesn't seem to be bullied or picked on. Eats well. Good temperament. No visible injuries other than missing feathers. Her name is Rascal

so far the only issue I have is with Rascal as described above. About 4 / 5 weeks old and not feathering out like the others

And the heat lamp needs to go. They don't need it anymore.
