The comb is still yellow and there are no wattles to speak of yet. And her feet seem long and slender. This is my first chick, so I have no idea what normal development is. Everything I read seems very contradictory. Muy frustrado!
This is Bettie my Buff Orpington at 3 wks. She's supposed to be a pullet but I'm having a panic attack and worried she may be a he. She had tail feathers at 1 wk, but when I saw pictures of her sisters, their tail feathers were smaller and more rounded. She is somewhat skittish, but will run...
Thank you! Pretty much what I thought. I have "Bettie" in a large tote so I think I will try a divider and see how that works and only put them together when I can oversee them. I'm hoping she's lonely enough to embrace the baby! LOL.
Hi, I'm new to raising chickens and at this moment I have one 3 wk old Buff Orpington chick. Next week I'm getting a Black Australorp chick. Can I put the day old in the same brooder as the soon to be month old chick?
