Totally normal. While chicks grow the secondaries and primaries split due to the differences in rate of growth. Primaries grow faster, secondaries slower. All of my chicks do that to some extent when they're itty bitty. They'll grow out of it, but keep in mind that it might take a good long while before they do.

im not sure he is a mutt most likelty, but looking at the pics just right now it looks like he is getting some barring so maybe a barred rock cross but we will see you got any ideas i dont i just hope he is ok, also when the feathers grow in slower then the other feathers those are usually males right?
