She is 14 weeks old, but never feathered past 4 weeks, and has not grown since 8 weeks. I think she is eating fine, and she has not been sick. Can the heat (112+) be causing this? Is there anything I can do to get her back on track? She is the one on the left. Sorry about the bad pic, only one I...

I would like to review my experiences with the gold/red sex link chickens, but whenever I try, I get an error message saying that I do not have permission and that I need an administrator account. Could someone please explain this? Thank you!
