Weird Feathers

[WarrenChicken]

Hello,

The images attached are from my one-week-old silked EE. Because of genetics there is a 50/50 chance of silked vs smooth feathers. She seems healthy, happy, and she is growing. Are here feathers okay? She doesn’t look like the others. Maybe she is the only one with the silked gene?

It does look like she has been eating her feathers. I don't have clear answer for you on what is going on, but hopefully others will hop in soon.

Welcome To BYC

Likely genetics, time will tell how the feathers turn out.

She's eating/drinking, active and growing. Enjoy her!
