Hi all,
We have about 9 cornish chicks for meat and a variety of others for eggs. They are all 2 weeks. The cornish chicks are quite plump, which I expected, as they are supposed to dress out at 6lbs at 6 weeks. However, the cornish chicks are all panting, while the others aren't. They also lay around a lot and seems to occasionally have trouble holding themselves up. They run around and play fine, but they just seem like they're having a hard time with all the chub.
Ideas? Should I separate them from the rest and feed them less?
