We got eight chicks just over two weeks ago. A week after that, we got a pair of maran chicks. One is a cuckoo maran and the other is a blue copper maran. They are much smaller than the other chicks so we're keeping them indoors for a couple of weeks until they catch up to the rowdy and spazzy flock of older chicks.
We've had the two marans for five days. The blue copper maran still seems brand new. She has a few wing feathers but she's still really small. It seems like the cuckoo is growing but the copper isn't. She eats and drinks but she is still kind of wobbly. She also kind of has a hunched stance and keeps her wings away from her body.
I'm concerned there may be something wrong with her, but I've also considered that maybe she is a couple of days behind the cuckoo maran since they came from different groups of chicks. It would be nice to get some thoughts from people who have a little more experience with this stuff than I do! Thank you.
