I have a new chick that has just left the nest it has wing feathers and tail feathers and is flying well. But it has not developed chest and back feathers it still has grey down. Is this a nite or lack of something.

Please post a picture that would be the best way to determine if what you are seeing is normal or not.

How old is the chick?

Maybe the other chicks have been harrassing it???????????????? I really don't know!

I assume it is the chick in the middle can you get a close up please of the front and back, from this shot it looks like the belly has been plucked but I can't say that for sure.

 

you have a mixed avairy? Having too's and budgies together is not really a good idea especially since budgies can be harassing and toos can do a lot of damage when annoyed (this is my opinion)
