This is our EE roo Dancer. I love his irrodesant feathering.

He looks awesome. I bet he's even prettier in person, with all that shine.

AWESOME!!! and congratulations!!!! When I got my first cute little blue easter egger eggs I posted pictures of every egg every day for a week.

I've been taking pics every day of new egg on scale and in boxes lol. I just cant share pics off phone using this site:/ Yesterday got another EE egg, much prettier than the others the day before & she laid in the nesting box!

I have two 5 week Easter Egger chicks and one isn't growing otherwise she seems fine but the other chick is a little more than twice her size

Sometimes she's a little more tired but she runs a round plays with the other chickens eat drinks and poops

awww. Do you have electrolytes in their water? I'd put it in there. Give each of them special holding attention. Even put in a stick to be like a perch for them. Anything to try and boost her. Good luck

My Austrolorp Roo did this. He grew to 1 week size then stayed that way for weeks. I had to seperate him from the others and buy him bantams to keep him company. He was just a very very slow grower. He is now massive. He was 2" taller than my large Dominique Roo and is still filling out. Just keep giving it electrolytes and seperate if the other chicks seem to be running it over. I didn't seperate mine early enough and his legs were injured because of it. (He's all healed up and normal now)

Good luck. Sometimes I think they're digestive systems just aren't developed enough early on and it temporarily stunts their growth until it catches up. Just a theory.

That's a pretty good theory I'm just trying to get as many probiotics in her or his system to help digestion and give extra nutrition
