Yes, I agree, she should have a companion. I have nine other grown chickens and room only for one more....... She seems very content by herself. When I picked her up from the feeds tore she had a horrible wound on her wing as a result of being picked on by the other chicks. When I introduced her...
Yes, the bottom is wire, but it is covered in mounds of hay. Actually, the chick is about the size of a bantam chicken....... So maybe it's older than 6 weeks?

20 week old rhode island reds Have NO comb at all. All three of them are completley flat. My EE's combs are way bigger than their combs are! What in the world could be wrong??? at 20 weeks old, they should be almost fully developed! I need to know what is going on here. please reply.
Okay, 19 week old chickens and still nothing! Out of 9 chickens! I'ts not even the eggs I'm that worried about. It's the combs. All three of My RIR's have absolutley no comb at all. however, there wattles are a deep, dark red. Their new hatched chick-like combs are light, light pink. All of my 5...
