My Three Chicks
Crowing
I have my 1st Bielefelder in a mix flock of 3 chicks (to be added to my 3 2-year olds). She's adorable and very sweet and enjoys being held and petted.
The 3 chicks are 7.5 weeks old and they are currently spending all day outside. It's about 80 degrees and my Bielee is panting with her mouth open audibly! She's in the shade and there's a slight breeze. I'm worried she seems so hot. The other 2 (EE and Ameraucana) don't seem to mind the heat like she does.
Is this a Bielee trait? Should I be concerned? She's healthy otherwise and carries on regular chicken business haha just fine. I'm just surprised she seems so hot at a mere 80 degrees!
I set out a shallow pan of cold water that she will stand in to help cool off and drink from too.
