I'm relatively new to this chicken thing. We currently have about 20 chickens and have found the biggest problem is keeping the predators away. I have a question about the condition of this chick. It was purchased at Rural King about a month ago. It is growing crazy fast and is twice the size of the other 5 chickens that was purchased at the same time. All it wants to do is lay on it's belly and eat......lol. It doesn't move around much. It looks terrible, missing a lot of feathers. I have no idea if it's plucking them out or what. It's always been with the other chicks and I've never seen any of them aggressive towards it, however it is a bully to the rest of them. I've never found any feathers in the coop or on the ground. By looking at it's size and the legs I wander if it's not a rooster? Could it be bigger just because of the breed which I forgot to write down? I've never had any of my other chicks look like this, its missing a lot of feathers all over. Should I keep him separated or attempt to introduce him with the rest of my chickens? Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks
