Mo Chick

Why does my cockatiel chick only have its pin fethers and no wing feathers?

My friend has a cockatiel chick 3 weeks old. It has most of the pin feathers,but no Wing feathers. Is there a cause for this? What can she do.

1. The chick is 3 weeks old, it's still very very young. It just need to simply grow up and let the feathers grow in. Think of it as peach fuzz when you are a little baby.
2. Wing feathers will grow later. Give it some time, all will be good
