Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

Yeah, I have true bantams, and I know about the difference. I'm also not good at genetics, so I really shouldn't be talking.

It's fine. It's how we learn new things. I started out not knowing tons about genetics either.

Girl I'm 5,8 in no heels how am I like a foot taller than you

Oh, probably a rare genetic deformity, combined with both scoliosis and kyphosis. But hey, I got my chickens and that’s all I need

What's the feed you feed them?

They get the chick crumble. All my other babies at same age are in regular growth rate

Welcome to BYC. I'm sorry you lost a chick. I hope the surviving chick will grow stronger.

hi and welcome!
is that your only chicken now? Are you going to get friends for it?

I have 11 babies from 3 wks to a month old. This is the only one that decided to not age. Maybe I should name her gen x lol

What brand, & protein content, organic, or non-organic?

I got it from our local feed store. Same kind they give all their chicks and I believe it's 15% protein organic
