My babies are just about 2 weeks old well almost and getting the big kid feathers. But they are really scruffy looking in spots just wondering if that was normal, some more than others seems like it is more noticible on the yellow and lighter colored ones, no one is acting sick all are eating( alot) of chick starter non medicated. And they go through alot of water so I dont know. They did kinda peck at each other in the begining, again more some than others, but pretty much stopped that. I guess it is more of a thinning of the fuzz than bald spots. And they kinda scratch themselves sometimes. I have checked for mites but i couldn't see anything on them. My son seems to think they all seem normal, but hes never owned a chicken either.
So just want to make sure everything is good with them. I would post pics but my camera doesn't do good in the house for some reason they all turn out too dark!
thanks for the imput. Sandy
ps. Just wanted to add that one of my little LB boys has started just stepping up on my hand when i put it in the brooder he is so cute. So that makes my 2 girl BA and him really are starting to trust me! I feel kinda special, they don't do it for my sons. JUST ME!
