dwarf chick?

[howfunkyisurchicken]

I ordered some cochins in the spring. Even with them all being the same breed, they all kind of grew at different rates. I had some sprouting feathers all over and others that were still covered in baby fuzz. Eventually everyone caught up though, and now they're all the same size. I do have one that is blind in one eye, and she was having trouble gaining weight. A little TLC and some gamebird feed fixed her right up though. Good luck, I don't think your birdie is a bantam- just a slow grower.

Well I don't know if she is a dwarf or not, but my gosh, SHE IS CUTE!!

Not a dwarf, our chicks came from Meyers also in the spring and we have same breeds. One of our PR's was small like yours and talked constantly, but she is the same size as her sisters now, and you will love the SS's ours started laying the first at 17 weeks and have done so on schedule ever since, we get 6 eggs a week from them and the BR's are absolute monster girls, HUGE.
