NanaKat,
Think my lil guy has another issue. His right wing is drooping and I'm thinking it could be sprain. I don't feel any bones sticking out. Should I wrap it with an ace bandage for a few days?
Well the lil uy seems to be doing well. I just recently put him back in with the other's. He is still hiding his head between the 2 x 4's, stays by himself when out in the run. When he was in the pen by himself he started this running in circles thing and going nuts. Well he is doing it out...
NanaKat, thank you for suggestion. I am working on this today. Great point about eating fast because of the bigger bird's! Will let you know how things go.
Another question about my little guy. His chest area that seems large is really "mushy", the best way to describe it. Is this normal or should it be firm?

Really? He looks so much like my girl's, which I ordered Columbian, so I thought for sure he was. Like I said, I'm new to all this. I'm going to post pictures of my girl's, let me know what type you think they are.
I received a "Mystery" chick in my last bird order. Turns out it's a Columbian Wyandotte Rooster. He's about 9 weeks old and my concern is his chest seems really large and a bit protruding, is this normal? I'm new to the chicken thing so I'm learning everyday!
thanks for the help.
