I have 12 baby calls, about a month old. One (Dory) was a runt from the get go.
They, as you know, grow fast! Well she's now less than half the size of everyone else.
They all are getting most of their feathers like normal.....Here's the puzzler..she has no feathers! Still just a fuzz ball.



Her in the beginning



She's lively and eats and drinks fine. Just stunted for some reason.
Any thoughts??

I haven't been on in forever and just wanted to give a little update on our "Dory". She is fine, feathered and doing well. She stayed smaller than the others but has no issues.

She’s beautiful!

It has been a while since I have been here but I found an egg in a haystack and thought the experts on this thread might be able to help me figure this out.

The hay came from a field in California near the Nevada line. I set it in my incubator March 25. It is developing and I can see it moving.

Sounds cool!
What are you asking? Do you even know what breed/species the egg came from?

I am not sure what it is. It has smaller pores in the shell like a duck egg. I tried to take a pic while candling it. It is almost filled up.
My guesses by the kind of birds in the area are Canadian goose or pelican

Wow I can’t wait to see what pops out.

I will put it in lockdown on day 26 with lots of humidity since my best guess is some kind of water bird. I will post pictures if it makes it to hatch. Fingers crossed.
