In the Brooder
I have seen posts on this before but it seems really odd now.
I have 2 Lakenvelder's..one silver (Betty White) and one golden (Lucille Ball), both hatched on 3/29/17..so they are about 26 days old. My Lucille has gotten many feathers, including the tail feathers. Betty has NONE..and I mean NONE..( I have great pics but the site won't let me post them..or i don't know how ). I have a Barred Plymouth (Princess Lay-A-Egg) who hatched on 4/3 who is really feathered out nicely. Heck I even have a 5 day old Silver Laced Wyandotte that is getting in her feathers and a 7 day old Light Brahma also feathering. Now Betty is about the same height as Lucille, but I can tell she probably isn't as heavy (but that might just be looks of the feathers making Lucille look bigger). She is very active, eating, drinking..being a very funny baby chick..watching her chase a baby cricket this morning was very comical.
Does anyone really have any idea why she would be taking so long? Now I know I might have a BOB HOPE, instead of a Betty White..but wondering if it could be something else..because it just really seems odd. Also is anyone able to tell if she's a Betty or a Bob at this age? Oh and if anyone can tell me how to post a picture..that would be great
Thank you!
