Goldie, my Gold Laced Wyandotte seemed a bit less energetic than normal this morning. She is eating and drinking normally. Her beak seems pale and I noticed she has no tail feathers compared to her flock mates. She has no blood, no indication they were pulled out, no wounds visible. She is just smaller than the rest...I was thinking she is bottom of the establisted pecking order but the pale beak concerns me. Any advice appreciated. They are on a 18% medicated chick feed and grit was chick grit started yesterday. They are on pine shavings which are changed daily.

The golden laced Wyandotte will not grow its tail until its a little older, I had some and their tails did not start showing until they got older.
 
Oh, awesome. Do you think her beak is too pale?
