We just received a bunch of chicks today and one is just the strangest little thing!! It's a dark brahma, I'm certain. But, it's tiny, about 1/2 the size of the other brahmas. It has large, long legs that seem slightly turned out. It arrived with a pastey bum which I've been cleaning and seems much improved.
She is eating and drinking and seems very active.
But, oh my goodness she never stops cheaping!!! I mean the little lady is loud.
I feel like she is trying to tell me something, as if she's in distress.
What do you think? Any experience?
I'm hoping she's just a runt and needs some extra time.
Is that possible?
Poor thing is pretty ragged looking. We've deemed her the 'Dino chick'.
edit to add-
We lost her last night. I feel bad for the little girl that she had to suffer, but I am glad she isn't anymore.
