They seem to be doing ok. Thank you!!

I added Nutri-Drench as well as some Brewer's Yeast to their food. They're from the same hatch date as replacements. The same breed from the previous weeks have no symptoms. I think my initial post didn't state that they did have confirmed and treated coccidiosis, around 2-4 weeks. I wonder if...

It looks like, after study review and several anatomy charts, the small tip is likely excess keratin. Debeaking seems to be more similar to getting a fingernail pulled, where there would be nerve access/ damage. Otherwise, chickens would have ongoing pain as their beaks wear out.

Is that extra little point likely to keep growing and or interfere with eating?

I find them very soothing! Thanks! I always have wished that, but I just ordered guinea keets and now I'm thinking teleportation! Oh, man. I left that FB post up. Along with undernourished and never treat coccidiosis, I was also told they're pale and sickly.

Thanks! You'd think I'd know better, with all the drama. One lady is basically accusing me of nearly killing them for treatment for coccidiosis after we saw a vet (and I definitely consulted here!). I also have some Wyandottes that seem SO small at 7 weeks, but they seem overall healthy. I still...

Meyer is super responsive! We finished later in the day, but I'm planning to email or call tomorrow. They were in their 20 sq ft brooder with a "baby roost", and just moved out to their 100 sq ft shed with flat side 2x4 roosts yesterday. I also forgot to add that they had to be treated for...

I posted on a FB page, and people are saying they look underweight by their headshots.

Thank you both! It sounds like adding some Brewer's Yeast to feed might also be helpful. I'm just concerned because I was reading on Mercks about sciatic nerve issues and laying issues; I wonder if these 2 were more genetically predisposed.

Unfortunately, I had surgery when 2 of my Lavender Orpingtons were 4 weeks, now 7.5 weeks. I was unable to access my brooder, and my husband did the care and keeping for 3 weeks. These two birds are Meyer Hatchery birds (replacements; the one the week before has none of these issues). They...
