Bantam experts! Are they usually...

slower to start? I bought 7 Bantams(my first) from TSC.(6 bird minimum and who could leave number 7 all alone?

) I THINK I got 4 Golden Sebrights and possibly 3 Mille Fluer D'Uccles?? They are tannish with reddish on the faces and some gray mixed in.They also have feathered feet and toes?Anyway,they were very sluggish for the first 2 days and I added some sugar to the water.They perked up some but not enough,so I went back to TSC (dangerous,right?

) and got some vitamin/electrolyte mix,added that and they seem much better.However,it is day 3 going into day four and I'm having to clean pasty butt 2 x a day?Should this stop eventually? Also,if anyone can post pics of their bantam Mille Fluer D'uccles I'd appreciate it a lot! Thanks

What does it look like? Can you post a pic? I would post mine but my son dropped my cam and broke it

I don't think it's the fact that they're bantams....it's that they were shipped and ended up in the feedstore.....not the best start for a chicks whether it's a bantam or LF. My bantams that I've hatched are most times very perky and hit the ground running.
