Olandsk Dwarf Chicks

[shelbyw]

Hey! So I am new to the breed Olandsk Dwarf and I recently got 7 but sadly 2 died and we knew they would not make it the first day. I do have a chick that is fascinating me with how it is feathering out. It is only feathering out on the tips of its wings which I have never seen before. I was wondering if this is common with this breed and if this has anything to do with gender or if it’s just a genetic trait this one carries. They will be 2 weeks Saturday, but in the pictures it is 1 week 1/2 old. I am loving this breed so far! I am hoping this one turns out to be a cockerel

I got the chicks from a local breeder in NC where I live The farm is called Dragonfly Farms. She is a very nice lady and cares a lot about her chickens

I have some 3 week old pictures of the Dwarf chicks! I do not think they are in order with the chicks. They look to be in order by chick. Every 3 is another dwarf. The last 3 is my chick that had the weird feathers where it was only sprouting feathers at the bottom, but now look at it! It looks like it is going to be black, brown, white, and maybe even a little blue

Still have no idea on the gender, but I think I at least have 1 cockerel and the rest pullets
