I have a 10 week old crested creme legbar. We've had her since she was about 3 weeks. I am concerned because she hasn't gained any weight the past 3 weeks (we weigh them every Tuesday morning) My other breeds are growing 3-6 ounces a week. I know she is a smaller breed in general but is only 12 oz total. She is active. I see her eating and drinking all the time. Should I be concerned?
the other breeds are BCM, EE, Buff Orp and a Barred Rock. I know they are all much larger breeds than the CCL.
Our feeder is a grandpas treadle feeder so it never really runs out of food. The other hogging it isn't the issue. (We have a brick on it since the CCL doesn't weight enough tooperate it yet)
I see her eating often. My flock gets along very well. I am not OVERLY concerned. Will keep an eye on her. No growth in 3 weeks just makes me a little cautious. Any thoughts?
 
sometimes it genetics sometimes a sickness or something else. Cocci is very very very common and will cause them not to gain any size or weight and if its new to your flock it can have it even if it appears your others dont because they have built an immunity to whats in your soil, very easy to treat.
 
Bump - any thoughts? She is still very active and seems fine but no growth and it has been another 2 weeks.
 
Are you sure she is what she's supposed to be? Maybe there was a mix up and you got yourself a bantam breed instead.
