Okay, so we bought 4 Bovan Brown chicks at TSC. I don’t have a lot of faith in TSC correctly identifying their pullets. Three of the chicks are at least obviously the same breed.

I have a 12 day old Cuckoo Marans chick that I think has angel wing. She doesn’t hold her wings close to her body like the other chicks and it looks like only the wing tips are held slightly out. Overall, she seems more docile than the other chicks (different breeds) and has serious pasty butt...

Today I took my chick outside like I always do when I get home from work. Usually she tries to fly and runs around all over the place. Today however she just keeps sitting. It doesn’t seem like she is in pain or anything. Is this normal behavior? She’s almost 5 weeks old now.
