Normal or Illness

[RachaelS]

Hey is this normal for their eyes? These are Barnevelders, they are 6 days old (if that makes a difference) It looks like little tiny feathers around their eyes, so I am not sure if I am being overly worried or if something is wrong. They are acting fine, eating, drinking and running around, but if it is a problem want to catch it first.

Okay, freaking out, these little guys mean a LOT to me. I have raised several sets of chickens and just never noticed this, I guess because I never watched them that closely

 

[jallny]

dont worry, have you had this breed before

 

[RachaelS]

Yes, but these are special, they are from Trisha (TSL_Ranch) I have been wanting them for a year. Never paid attention to any of my other chicks this close.

Okay heard back from Trisha, (was not sure if she was on line and I was freaking out) she said they are fine, this is normal so jallny you are correct, thanks a bunch!!!!
