Thank you!Hello and welcome to BYC!
Hi, thank you!!!Hi, there!Welcome to BackYard Chickens!
Hello,
My name is Mars and I'm brand new to chickens! I got my first 8 chicks last Thursday, May 14th, 2020.
I got 2 Buff Brahmas, 2 Dominiques, 2 Golden Lace Wyandotte, and 2 Blue Plymouth Rocks. I'm getting 16 more in July and they're gonna be colored egg layers.
Unfortunately one of my Buff Brahmas, Menina came really small. I think she might be a runt and on her first day, she was really wobbly. She's still really wobbly so I have separated her from the bigger ones and she still has a hard time walking. When I isolate her she just keeps chirping and chirping and peeping and peeping so I place her with the 2 smallest ones left, we call them the sleeper twins that's all they seem to do, and she does quiet down and sleeps quite a bit, I just don't know what's wrong with her. One of her legs is constantly extended and she chirps quite a bit. I think one or two of the bigger ones jumped on her and hurt her a bit more. I feed her and water her as much as I possibly can. So I'm a little stressed and at every peep she has me jumping up from bed or from my desk to check on her.
Here is a picture of Menina and her sexy leg pose she's clearly waaay to young for. I have hobbled her legs with hopes that it will correct it.
