Hey there, Waffle is a salmon favorelle, 9 weeksish and she kind of distances herself from the other four girls. Theyre about nine weeks old. Her underbite is particularly bad and this is after my husband filed it. It seems like she eats wet mash OK but I have yet to see her pick up a single meal worm, but not for lack of trying. Usually if she tries a couple times to pick one up, she will then just run away, almost like she’s embarrassed.
She also tends to isolate and hang out on her own. One of the birds was picking on her quite a bit for a while, but now that weather is better and they’re less bored and outside more it’s better. Yet she still prefers to kind of go off on her own…
It’s a mix flock, but we do have one other salmon favorelle. They stuck together in the beginning, but now the other one is a little bit bigger and they don’t seem to be buddies anymore.
My husband tried to shave it down tonight but we are worried about a quick? It’s a bit even more jagged now and rough. We have shown her rocks/cement, and she doesn’t seem to file her beak down the way the others do on the cement. she often has food all over her beak, just like she doesn’t care lol. The others wipe their beaks more.
I must say she’s the doofiest of the bunch. But I feel so sad for her when the others are enjoying a treat.
