Giant chick?

[Wishing4Wings]

You got them from a breeder? Send them the pic and ask. I am interested what he could be. Only thing I've had that big was English Orpingtons.

Anybody think I should worry about the way the big one totters around so much slower than the others? Maybe they'll even out. I have no prior experience with chicks, so just don't know what to make of the size difference.

As long as he's eating, drinking, and pooping he should be fine.

I have emailed the breeder, and hopefully I'll hear something back soon... but I crave immediate feedback, and an objective opinion can't hurt either

Almost 11pm here. Must be Thursday where you are.

Lol. 11 where I am too. I emailed the breeder this afternoon, but "soon" for them is still usually a few days.

aw, I am impatient too. Guess we wait.

If he or she's laying around a lot, I'd recommend giving some Nutri-drench per the instructions on the bottle. I had a Brahma that grew a little too fast for her legs, and the Nutri-drench really seemed to help give her that little extra boost she needed. She's all grown up and laying eggs now, so I'm a big fan of it.

T Rex is a great name! That is one big chick. I would think it older than the other, but the feathering/down says its not. Cant wait to watch it grow up.

You people who get these pictures of chicks standing next to each, as if it's no big deal, boggle my mind.

Have you not trained yours to stand still and smile? Cause, um, yeah. I totally don't have 3 dozen other pics of feathery blurs, fluffy butts, empty space and my daughter's hand...

Ha! I love this. Thanks for a laugh
