We have 5 brahma chicks that I believe are about 8 or so weeks old. Four are gorgeous little fluff butts, and then there is this one...

I don't see any signs of mites or parasites. Eating, drinking and pooping normally and quite fiesty. I thought I read somewhere that cockerals feather more slowly. Could that be the case? I am leaning towards cockeral, too judging from his pretty pink comb,but I would love others to weigh in.
Anyone else had this experience?

Could be a cockerel, if you have a few more photos someone else may be able to chime in.

I see new feather development on the wings. Some chicks can look a bit frazzled, if he's eating/drinking well and active, then I would just give him some time. He'll feather on out.
