    Posting him/her again with a few weeks more development (8 weeks old). What do you think—hen or roo?

    He/she is definitely a bit of a loner from the other 5 but recently had some sort of leg deformity or growing pains (according to the vet) that caused trouble walking so that might be part of it. His/her comb is definitely more pink than the others but it was a hatchery mix up so I’m still...

    Help! 5week old chick unable to walk more than a few steps

    My 5 week old chick is suddenly unable to walk more than a few steps before plopping down and laying in the bedding. She walks very clumsily, almost on her hocks too. Once laying she kind of trembles and her breathing seems more labored than it should, and I even saw her poop while laying down...
