Feeding and Housing My 6 Week Old Chicks...I'm a Newbie

[masloozinit76]

As far as the chicks having a prominent breast bone and being thin on either side of it, is this normal for a 6 week old chick? They look plump until you hold one and feel them.

Can you possibly post a picture of what you're talking about? Does it look large sometimes but not so large at other times or is i always that way? I worried about my chickens when I seen theirs were really big one day but come find out, it was just that they had eaten too much and were full lol

Masloozinit, (great name btw!) I will post a picture as soon as I can. It's their keel that seems pointy. They aren't filled out on either side of it much even though they are growing and active
