Jed, 22, shared a photo of him and together and wrote: "Happy birthday, Dad!

"I'm honored to share your middle name, and so grateful for you! Love you @duggarfam!!"

Jed's post was the only birthday tribute reposted on the Duggar family's official Instagram account.

His daughters Jinger, Jessa, Jill, Jana and Joy-Anna all failed to make any mention of Jim Bob's big day.

Jessa - who is - is, however, on Sunday.

Jill, meanwhile, distanced herself from Jim Bob and her mom   years ago after disagreeing over their conservative religious beliefs.

Similarly, Jill's cousin Amy failed to acknowledge Jim Bob's birthday, having long ago fallen out with the family.

Interestingly, Jason and James visited Justin on Sunday but none of the siblings made any mention of their father on social media.

Justin shared a photo of them all together on his Instagram Stories and wrote: "Surprise visit from James and Jase."

Their brother Joseph kept quiet too, as did the disgraced eldest Duggar child Josh and his pregnant wife Anna.

Fans couldn't help but notice the snub and flocked to Reddit to air their theories of a family feud.

One asked: "Why is Jed the only one who wished JB a happy birthday on social media? Am I missing something?"

Another speculated: "At least publicly, I'm sure they all want to keep things low key to avoid harming their influencer sponsorship possibilities."

A third wrote: "I hope the kids are cutting Jim Bob off and moving their lives away from their awful parents!"

Josh and Anna have kept quiet on social media since he was  in April.

He after being charged with two counts of receiving and possessing child porn. 

Josh's arrest led to the Duggars' family show  after almost six years on air.

An insider told The Sun exclusively at the time: "The family was told over the phone shortly after and it's still very hush hush. 

"The petition from those who boycotted Counting On was hard to ignore, and sponsors were very concerned following Josh's arrest.

"The bottom line is, the network really wants to be on the right side of this scandal ahead of . It was important for bosses to be seen to have taken action.

"The case has put the show in such a bad light, and although it's a shame for those who worked hard on it, and the money spent, there really is no way forward."
