Blind from hatch?

[aart]

Update. She isn't blind. She is a slow grower and slow learner. Might be "special." So far, so good.

Update-- Mine turned out completely normal and is thriving. She doesn't seem a bit "special"

More 'normal' and less 'special' in just 2 days?
When they bounce back that fast, good chance they don't have some internal abnormality that will rise it's ugly head down the road.

Final update. She turned out not to be blind or even slow. She is doing fine and caught up with the chicks she was with. Just early issues I guess.

@aart They are mature hens now. I think the other two she grew up with have helped her. She shows signs of blindness. Didn't notice it until my partner pointed it out. I don't think she is totally blind. She panics randomly, and doesn't see food thrown right next to her. Only runs to it when others find it. You were probably right.

Well, at 6-7 months old she's not quite a mature hen yet(not until a year old),
but sounds like she adapted to survive.
She can find the waterer and feeder ok?
Is she laying yet?

Yep. Laying and all. She was a sub flock whichever helped he out. Just wanted to let n you know you were right.
