Well that was a interesting and informative read back from the past 2 days.
First thank you to all that have attempted to help the new people that have joined recently. There is a wealth of knowledge here and I'm grateful that yall are so generous in sharing.
Happy Father's day to all those that it applies. And thank you to all the women who put up with us father's.
I made it to Texas after some airport confusion and will be here for the next 2 weeks or so. Call me crazy but I decided to spend the last 30 minutes or so before I left this morning with the week old chicks. Rest of the family was sleeping and I wanted to make sure all was good before I turned them over to the wife and kids.
I have some concerns and would like some input. Pictures are below. One of the giant cochin chicks seems to have overly large wings. They are more feathered out than the rest and seem bigger at the same time. It was actually one of the smaller chicks that hatched but has seemed fine until now. I might just be freaking out for no reason but decided it was worth asking. It appears as though in the picture they are cold bUT they just huddled up trying to hide from me.
Food is Purina flock raiser non medicated (what's the advantages of medicated) I swapped over to the flock raiser back a few months ago due to being able to feed it to all ages but stuck with non medicated.
Umm let's see I think that should sum it up. Please ask any questions and I will attempt to answer them. Bear in mind I'm in TX and they are in NC so more pictures will take time but not impossible. The one I'm worried about is the black body wit white face.
I prefer the non-medicated as well. But this is a very debatable item so each person to their own on this one.
