Newly hatched chick care

[JacinLarkwell]

Do you have something you can use as scale to show it's size? It looks pretty okay looking

Sure, it's a wiggly little thing- so hard to get a good picture. Lol

Is it a bantam or a standard?

 

[JacinLarkwell]

It does look a bit rusty if it's a standard but as a bantam it looks pretty healthy

Runty*

It's a standard. It's either a barred rock/ee mix or a gold Wyandotte/ee mix. I can't tell their eggs apart.. The broody was sitting on a clutch of her fellow hens' eggs, so she had a variety.

Well the chick seems to have pulled through. It's completely normal, except for its size. It eats well, walks normal, is pooping normal... Here is a picture of it with a chick that is a couple days older. I think it may be a runty chicken when fully grown.
