Chicks hatching with wing tip feathers?

[MysteryChicken]

None of my other ones have that. It was a first for me. They are Wyandotte/Delaware mixes and most are slower to feather.

Every batch is gonna be different. Been hatching chicks for years.

This guy was just born yesterday afternoon and has feathered wing tips. I find it so fascinating. Now this is my first time hatching and obviously I was under-prepared I want planning on having a bunch of mixes running around.

Mine are so slow to feather. My 1 month olds are still trying to get feathers in. Well to be fair they are Delaware/Wyandotte cross. That may be why they are slower to feather. 3 of them barely have tail feathers. My younger chicks under the broody are feathering just as slow except that one. You never know with the cross breeds.

Hey this is off topic and I'm sorry but I really love your finger tattoos. Was that very painful? It looks extremely so.
