What am I??

Has anyone ever seen wings come in like this? Any ideas? TIA!

Looks like a silver laced Wyandotte. Cute little bird!

That’s what I was thinking too!! And thank you

I just am concerned about the wings coming in like that, I’ve never seen anything like that before where they seem to not be opening all the way

I see. You are looking at the feathers still in partial sheath. They should open up as the wee one learns to preen.

Looking really closely at this picture... They do look odd. Perhaps things will straighten out in their mini molts as they mature.
What is the protein level in the feed you use?

I think so too, very odd. I did some googling and didn’t see anything quite like this. They’re about 2 weeks old now, and have been eating scratch and peck starter since hatch, which the bag says is 20.5% protein

Are all the birds’ wings developing this way, or just this one? If it’s just this one, it may just need more time. If it’s more than one, I’d quit the scratch and just feed starter to make sure they’re getting enough nutrition.

Wyandottes are so much fun!

No but I was wondering/worrying that too!! So I went thru all the others just to make sure. It’s the only one like this, even the others (who I assume are the same breed) have normal looking wings. Are you also pretty sure this is a Wyandotte? First timer so no experience with them!!
