Thank you! I read his article and it's what lead me to this conclusion. Thanks for helping. But yes she is perfectly healthy otherwise.
Will do. I appreciate it and hope she doesn't have this then. It's really just her tiny legs lol
There are other types of dwarfism that I am not as familiar with. Many years back, in my hatchery stock, a dwarf was hatched by someone who had gotten eggs from me out of my Barred Rocks. It wasn't thyrogenous dwarfism, but apparently one of the other kinds. The chick did have short legs and its development for a long time made it appear to be a pullet rather than the cockerel he actually was. He lived at least a year, but I lost track of him after that. His comb never got big as it should have been at his age, etc. That type of dwarfism can spontaneously appear in a line from seemingly nowhere, I've read, and is not necessarily a health issue. I'm not sure if yours is a dwarf or not, but she/he is definitely not of the thyrogenous type from the pictures I see so, hopefully, will be around for a long time.
Agreed. She looks completely normal other than her tiny legs and slow feathering and growth. Everyone says she is a pullet but she has such a roo attitude it's hard to believe. She is super sweet and snuggly. Would prefer to be held and even gets jealous if I'm holding someone else. My husband had her last night and she saw me holding another chicken and jumped to me and laid under the other to make it leave. I don't care if she's has it or not. I never wanted an Easter egger but here I am lol and I wasn't sure if her short legs were due to her breed or something more. They are seriously half the size of Everyone else I have who is the same age.
Also, if she is a she do you know if she will still lay
Ok good! Does she still look like a pullet?
