Sounds like a full crop to me and is normal.

Do you mean on their chest in front of their wing?

 

[jarvis]

yeah its kinda in front of their wing.. but is only on thier right side .. so i thought it was weird they all are acting normal though .. maybe i pay way to much attention to details ?? lol thank you

I thought the same thing with mine when I got started, but it's normal. It's just weird looking when your new to chickens.

me ... and everyone else!

jarvis!

It sounds like your babies are just being little piggies.

If you think that scared you, wait until you see a good dust bath.

That one has gotten us all.

one of my ameracaunas was doin that yesterday .. i picked her up she looked at me funny so i put her back down and she went right back to her bath lol ... =/

 

[jarvis]

how old do my chicks need to be before you can tell what they are?? ( by lookin at them ) the four ameracauna are the oldest i got them in april .... the other are at least a few weeks younger ..
