Granny's gone and done it again

Changing the subject, Banty, I have seen a couple posts of chicks being born with lumps/ growths. Have you noticed that ?

Is it a local thing? Happening in one area? Some herbicides and insecticides can cause malformations in growing bird embryos. Remember DDT and the problem it caused for bald eagles? Could be something like that.

Hi bestie! Edit: and everyone else! ( )

Done for the day. Much better spirits. The boy ate a taco at supper! The returning camper has had hot dogs at every meal. He told his counselor to not even bring a hot dog without ketchup, even though he put his own ketchup on the first day.

That's great news! His parents will be pleased, I bet! Any step forward with kids on the spectrum is a triumph, even if it is a baby step!

According to Rod and Vickie I have a "Very SPECIAL chick" it runs backwards.

THAT"S RIGHT drops it's head and looks between it's legs and runs backwards moving forwards NOT SO GOOD.

SHOULD I CULL OR WILL THIS AFFECT THE OTHER CHICKS ?????????

sure their not just seeing wry neck ?

I think 6 more 16 footers would be enough BUT I am going to get 8 just to be safe.
OUT of the 30 I started with I don't think there is a total of 3 foot of waste AND no seams either.

pis of course . Thats good though on the 3ft.

sounds like it might of got a good peck in the head.

so just leave it alone and then maybe send it to freezer camp when it's big enough. CUZ I really don't think it would ever figure out how to use a nest box, or a roost.

Sounds funny! Did it just occur or has it been like that since you got it?

not sure I will try to get a look at it tomorrow. They say it's eating ok and about the same size as the rest. It is just stuck in reverse

Have they seen it poop? I had a chick with pooping trouble, and it would go backwards like that when it was trying to poop! Grew out of it.
