Sooo tiny!

You could try wetting down some crumbles for her in a separate container.
She’s so cute! I’m glad she made it out ok!

I tried that, she didn't like the wet mash. I can always try it again but less mushy.

 

[MysteryChicken]

She likes the soft crumbly texture better then mushy.

Jelly Bean is in the brooder. I gotta watch her though. The crumbles are a bit large, & hard for her to swallow. I did make the crumbles smaller in a small peanut butter lid, but she's a stubborn little chicky.

When I raised quail, I ground up their food in a little blender I bought at Walmart for $10.00. It makes it super fine and they were able to eat it better.

She's doing good with softened food.

The lady will be coming by Saturday to pick up her 12 chicks.

So, that'll leave Jelly Bean, & the two grow outs.

Have you tried to vent sex Jelly Bean or is he/she too delicate? Just curious

No, since she's mostly OEGB her color is auto sexing. It's a girl.

Yaaayyy!!!! I wonder if she is going to stay tiny and if her eggs are going to be extra small too?

I use crumbled boiled egg yolks to feed chicks when they need something other than chick feed. Jelly Bean might like it I'm curious, how is the size of the egg/chick affecting its health? How did the hatch go? Did it need assistance? (I can't seem to go back through enough pages on this thread to find the details!) And what happened with the double-yolked egg? Did it develop and hatch? These are two kinds of eggs I wouldn't have thought to hatch for fear the chicks wouldn't be healthy so I'm interested to know how it's turning out for you.
