ISA Brown pullet

[bigz1983]

Back in November I bought 3 ISA Brown pullets from a guy who buys ISA Brown pullets in large quantities from townline hatchery as chicks raises them to laying age and sells them for $8 each.

When I first brought them home I noticed that one of them still makes like a peeping sound when it's under duress. It's slow and shakes it's head alot. It's a loner and it's waddles and comb are very small buts it's body size is large. It doesn't lay eggs.

Could a be a pullet with a genetic slow growing defect? I have had it since November and it's combs waddles are small and it still peeps?

I don't think she is going to make it. She is really weak. She was sluggish when I first got her home 3 months ago and I'm surprised she made it through the hardest part of the winter. But something is genetically wrong with her or something. She never developed.

So sorry you dont think she will make it... is she is pain? She does look off...

I'm not sure if she is in pain. I think she has a bad organ or gland. 3 months at adult size and still peeping like a baby chick??? That's weird...

Well she got weak she couldn't stand and the other chickens pecked her head bloody. I put her down with a shotgun.
