The poor guy! Sounds like this may have happened later on or something.Thanks for the insight! We didn’t notice anything when he hatched, but it’s totally possible someone else would have. It was our first time with chicks, so I didn’t really have a firm grasp on what to look for besides “alert, eating, pooping” We did notice they the LMs were really slow to grow their feathers — it was a marked difference! That does make me suspect there’s a genetic factor at play.
