HI all -
We hatched out 4 chicks for the first time 7 weeks ago. 1 BCM, 2 Wheaten Ameraucana and an OE. They all seem to be doing well (eating, drinking, running around, avoiding the older chickens, etc..) One of the AMs though, seems to sit whenever she's not moving. She'll hang with her friends, moving from place to place, totally mobile. However as soon as they stop, she sits. I looked at both of the AMs last night looking for injury or differences and could detect nothing wrong. I slowly flexed all of her joints and could detect no specifically painful spots (only judging by her demeanor.) I saw no bumblefoot .
Is this something I should worry about? If I had to guess I would say it's been going on about a week, but I can't say that for certain.
