Ok got all my chicks. 8 total all seem to be doing very well except one …. I’m not sure it’s sick but it just seems different than the rest … they all seem to move around and come out as soon as you go in and lift lid on the pen area except the one. The breed is silver laced Wyandotte
There are two of each kind the other one just like this one follows the other chicks first day seemed a lil skittish so gave it time to get use to brooder etc
Second day out and following other chicks but would run under heat plate if you put in hand or whatever … but I did get it to eat out of hand later that day…
Today seems not coming out from under heat plate till 3-5 minutes after all the others are out and would not eat from me … may have ate but I didn’t see it I’m worried cause it doesn’t seem to move around as much and it’s the tinest chick in the bunch … I noticed a couple bigger ones kinda pecking at it… not bad but they did two of them. It did peck back at the one though
Should I be concerned? Is there something I should do for it? Or a way to know if it’s sick or not doing well?
