I thought about that but couldn't see how that would be possible since all the eggs were the same size and came from the same flock (hens and roos) and shouldn't s/he have as many feathers as the others or ATLEAST tail feathers??? Really? - it seems quite content with its small stature and position in the family and it seems healthy - no problems - but I worry about it getting its feathers - it looks so funny!! I am also concerned that it will be trampled or picked on when I combine these with the rest of the flock - thoughts??Maybe your little 7.5 week old is a bantam?
Thanks!Wow! So many chicks! Very nice!
My 7.5 week olds have went from this:
to THIS......... (and can someone tell me why the little yellow chick in the top left is not growing like it's other hatchmates - so far it's tiny and only has wing feathers! It is suppose to be the same size as the others but seems to be stuck at this size - I have three week old's that are bigger and have more feathers - any ideas??? )

And here are the Muscovies (8 weeks) that were brooded with this bunch...... Fluffy (the hen that raised this brood) - has started laying again. BUT her sister Muffin went broody on May 15th ............... Then there are the 3 week olds - 12 Hatched April 26th (they loved the sunny spot on the porch and wouldn't let me get individual pics).......... And now THE 16 NEWBIES (as of yesterday!) Just LOVE the way they sleep! Light Brahma (hen) X Dominique (roo) Dominique ......... .......... they didn't like standing still. Blue Splash Ameraucana Ameraucana (hen) X Dominique (roo) Buff Orpington (hen) X Dominique (roo) - this one wouldn't stop chasing it's toes for the pic ... too cute!! LOL
