    Blind from hatch?

    Yep. Laying and all. She was a sub flock whichever helped he out. Just wanted to let n you know you were right.

    Blind from hatch?

    @aart They are mature hens now. I think the other two she grew up with have helped her. She shows signs of blindness. Didn't notice it until my partner pointed it out. I don't think she is totally blind. She panics randomly, and doesn't see food thrown right next to her. Only runs to it when...

    Blind from hatch?

    Final update. She turned out not to be blind or even slow. She is doing fine and caught up with the chicks she was with. Just early issues I guess.

    Hen or rooster?

    Not a Buff Orpington at all. I agree it's a mix of anything. All my buffs have been buff (yellow)

    Buff Orpingtons

    Definitely not Buff Orpingtons. My Wyanadottes have yellow legs. Not sure what other breeds do. Perhaps you have some type of mix?

    Blind from hatch?

    No. My original post was 4 weeks ago, ago I'm sure she is gonna be fine.

    Blind from hatch?

    Update-- Mine turned out completely normal and is thriving. She doesn't seem a bit "special"

    Broody?

    Mine actually started trying this game this week. I noticed she was sitting in an empty nesting box for hours at a time. I fixed it by repeatedly pulling her out of the nesting box and putting her out with the flock (way to spend a weekend). When the rest of the flock was on the roost for the...

    Blind from hatch?

    Update. She isn't blind. She is a slow grower and slow learner. Might be "special." So far, so good.

    Best brooder bedding?

    I totally agree. My significant other decided to surprise me with day old chicks while it gets down to 1F. Didn't know why I wasn't so excited. Are pine shavings ok or is there a preferred shaving? 6 week old Wyanadottes in the house for at least a couple of weeks.

    Best brooder bedding?

    This is my first time having chicks in a brooder in the house. Have only had raised by broody hen before. I have tried towels and paper towels and not working great. Are wood chips the answer? If so, is there a certain type to get or avoid?

    2 week chicks, speckled sussex or cream legbar?

    Speckled Sussex. The "chipmunk" stripe on the eye is a dead giveaway.

    Blue eyed Lavender Orpington??

    I need to know more about this chicken raffle. What the check is that?

    Blind from hatch?

    Yup. No pasty butt (although she IS prone to it) It's just weird. She literally seems blind.

    Blind from hatch?

    Feed and water 24/7 and 85 degrees in the brooder.

    Blind from hatch?

    I bought 3 Wynadotte chicks from the feed store. They are 1-2 weeks old. They are supposedly the same age. One is half the size and always cuddling under the others. I had to clean out the brooder tonight, threw some chick starter on a paper towel. 2 of them ate it right up, and the one I am...

    11 week old Sussex sitting down!

    Mine lay down/sit and contort into all kinds of freaky positions. They do it whenever the sun is out.
