These 2 are sisters, about 20 weeks old. Until about 6 weeks ago, they were the same size. The one in question is the small one. It just doesn't seem like she is developing right. She runs around with all the other girls, and keeps up fine. Actually, she's pretty fast and crafty; she usually ends up being one of the 1st to run away with a treat. Her crop is empty in the morning and full every evening. When I hold her though, it's like holding a carcass with feathers. She doesn't have anything on her bones at all, but her head and feet are huge! I checked her thoroughly for mites and lice, and give them pumpkin seeds regularly for worms. I have also done in-depth examinations of poopies to check for any weirdness and haven't found anything to cause alarm. Her sister is also feathering nicely, her tail feathers are growing in and she looks nice. The small one is not getting all of her big girl feathers. What could be going on with her? Why is she so scrawny? Could this be this be normal?
