    A chick that won't grow?! *UPDATE*

    Yes she perked up a lot and seemed to have more personality. She was bottom of the pecking order with her brothers and sisters, and seemed a lot more comfortable with the babies. She wasn't much bigger than them either by the time they were two weeks old.

    A chick that won't grow?! *UPDATE*

    Well I did what Ruth recommended and put her in with the chicks from my first hatch. Four months later, here she is: As you can see, she ended up doing great! Thanks so much for the advice, it saved her life. She ended up bigger than her sister, who I lost suddenly this week:( I don't...

    A chick that won't grow?! *UPDATE*

    I know what you mean, this one has tried so hard I just couldn't do it (well let my husband!). I feel bad for her because she is alone. Her friends are in the coop now, but she is too little to make it around them all. Hopefully I will have some hatch this weekend that can keep her company.

    A chick that won't grow?! *UPDATE*

    The poor thing had a run in with a cat last week, and one of her eyes was all scratched up, so we thought about putting her down. I gave her a couple of hours to see if she would come around, and she was eating and drinking, and has now healed up well. I think she can still see out of that...

    A chick that won't grow?! *UPDATE*

    Well she's still alive, and has grown most of her wing feathers, but not much else. This is so strange, i'd have thought she'd have gone one way or the other by now. She is 3 weeks old.

    A chick that won't grow?! *UPDATE*

    It's just my luck, she's my favourite out of this batch, and has the featheriest feet.

    I'll keep her until she gives up. She is pretty cute.

    A chick that won't grow?! *UPDATE*

    Thanks for the tip. Looking at some pictures, that seems to be exactly what's wrong with her. It doesn't seem to be something a hatchery chick should suffer from though.

    A chick that won't grow?! *UPDATE*

    She isn't nearly as active as the others and doesn't have much personality. I don't think she's all there. She just sits in my hand. I've been expecting to find her dead in the morning for the past week, but she has been about the same. I"m worried about what to do with her when the others...

    A chick that won't grow?! *UPDATE*

    One of my blue cochin chicks has angel wing pretty bad, and just doesn't grow. She is two weeks old, and the others have their wing, tail and neck feathers, but she just has a few wing feathers. She is half the size of everyone else, but looked the same when they arrived. She did have one eye...
