I have a chick that is about a week old.
My husband often says he thinks she's dead. But as soon as I touch her she acts okay.
She's eating a drinking.
She is sleeping on her side with legs sprawled out, or on her back.
Even in my hand, she sleeps like this.
I've never had a chick do this...
I knew if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to explain it. I have Pip on our porch until she heals or has to be put down. She's in her own little pen and is eating like she hasn't in days. She must not be able to get over to the food well.
It can spin on her leg fine, I had thought the same thing because I'd never use the bands like that before. I may even take it off tomorrow just to make sure but I don't think it is.
Thank you =)
Well since you all love her I'll show her off a bit more!
She's a trickster. She manages to find her way out of the coop at least once a week to beg for some treats.
Wanted to share new pictures of my mottled couple!
I call the roo "chaps" so I need a name for the hen.
I also have some cochin and cochin crosses.
These two don't have names yet since I'm running out of ideas. haha
Gah! I need some more of these! lol I only have one hen left and no shot at getting more because the Roo died.
Unless the mama can pass on the gene to some babies!
