Quote: I am in Colorado. I have searched for someone here but have had no luck at least on the Wheatens. I searched for someone with the Black and Blue Copper and found a lady just a few miles up the hwy in Falcon. She posts on Craigslist all the time but will never respond. I have sent...

My little Wheaten that I had posted about earlier died!! I knew it was inevitable as she hasn't grown any in 4 weeks. I am now down to no Wheatens and really disgusted with the whole situation. The lady I ordered them from was supposed to send 5 and she said only 2 hatched which I know...

Ya I don't know but I think I am going to run by the feed store and ask them. When I bought it they realized they were all out and I had to drive to the feed mill to pick up the bag. Maybe the kid got them messed up. I just want to make sure the little guy has everything he needs!! He was...

Quote: The problem with this is the big bag that is supposed to be medicated doesn't say anywhere on it that it has Amproline in it. No ingredients list nothing. The only thing it had was a pink paper tag that the feed mill puts on it and it says it has Amproline in it. The tag is one of...

Also how long should I feed them the medicated??

Ok here is a pic of my Wheaten chick that I have mentioned in previous posts. I added a pic of one of the others so you can see a comparison in size and feathering. Here is the bags of food I got. The first pic is supposed to be medicated but I can't find anywhere that it says it is...

Ok thank you so much for your help!!!!!

Quote: If the little guy isn't feathering out something is missing in it's diet. If you're sure it's not cocci then I would suspect worms. Worms could be drawing off enough nutrients to slow him down. So if I give them some medicated feed would that take care of the worms or do I need...

Quote: No! I told the feed store that was what I wanted but after looking at the bag they gave me the other. Grrrr.... I don't think it's cocci. The little guy doesn't look or act sick. He is eating and drinking good. He is a little slower moving than the others but he is half the size...

It's not acting ill. It is a little more docile than the others but also doesn't have all the wing feathers to flutter around. It is eating and drinking so I won't worry unless it starts acting different or something. The temp in the brooder got down to 70 last night and it was none the worse...

Quote: I'd check the little guy for a worm infestation before it spreads to the rest of the flock. Joe And how do I check for worms??

Hello all! I have a Wheaten chick that is two weeks old and doesn't seem to be growing or really feathering much. It eats and drinks plenty but just seems really slow to progress. I have it in with some Blue and Black Coppers the same age and there is a huge difference in them compared to it...

Quote: Oh Yeah, go ahead, ............. get them.............Jump on the band wagon with the rest of Chicken nuts.!!!!!!! LOL I may have to start my own local chapter of Chickens Anonymous I really think I am addicted!!! Going to take the plunge and get them as well.

Thank you Don! I am getting some Black and Blue Coppers the end of February but really like the look of the Wheatens. Not sure if I should get them or not. Tough decision.

Just wondering if the Wheatens lay the darkest egg out of all Marans? I have heard that the Blues and Coppers do but also read that the Wheatens do. Is this true or does it depend on breeding and what strain you get?? Thanks for any help.
