Hey!!
I got these two bantam chicks. So adorable.. anyways.
When i got them they had a very slight difference in size... you could only tell if they were standing and looking up right next to each other.
Now a month later, one had grown by half the original size and the other one... not even sure she has really grown much... now u can see clearly how one is tiny and one is getting bigger n bigger.
Im feeding them chick started feed mixedd w a little bit of layer feed. They get shell grit mixed into it aswell. They r eating both. Plus daily some tuna, scrambeled eggs, watermelon and whatever else left over..
Since day one, the bigger one has had balls and the small one runs after her doing only what she is doing. She only eats what she is picking on. And she only eats And drinks when she SEES the other one eating and drinking. Its like nothing is edible before the other one eats it. She is not willing to come up and eat something they get every day until the bigger one eats it and then she only pecks a little bit... i barely see her having a good munch, i almost never see her drinking.
When the other one is drinking and she doesnt notice, i then quickly get her attention so she would notice that she would also drink, and when she notices she runs there quick like “wooow really theres water ???” And as soon as bigger one stops drinking its like “ whatever, i dont like it anyways”
Im getting a bit worried. She does nothing by herself. And she is barely growing. But otherwise she looks very healthy.
Should i be more worried or what should i do ?
They arent just chickens to lay eggs. They r more like pets. They love roosting on my legs and hands lol
