I got this chick as
a surprise special pullet from Ideal Poultry. She didn't feather and this pic was taken when she was about 15 wks old. I kept her inside until this past week. When I let her siblings out of the brooder, my hens went after her, so she came inside. Friends suggested just letting nature take it's course, I couldn't do that. She was hatched on June 17th and on Dec. 17th, she laid her 1st egg.She is VERY tiny
Ideal sent a list of what the chicks were since it was a replacement, and she was "supposed" to be a bb red kraienkoppe...HA!
The Answer Man in WI thinks she could be a poor Lakenvelder, has anyone got any ideas, ever had a chick like this?? She's doing pretty good in the coop, I was leary of putting her out in the winter, my coop is very well insulated and warm. She's started coming out of the corners. The boys did put a hole in her neck which I am treating. Anyone have any ideas as to what was wrong with her, ever raised a chick like this?????
