But see ive been giving them scrambled eggs as a treat also everyday which I guess I shouldnt be doing so I dont know if the poops are because of the medicated feed or the eggs. I dont remember it being an issue before I started giving them eggs the last week in a half. So i'll quit giving them the eggs for a few days and see if they go back to normal or not.

My bet is still on the medicated feed. I'm sure you'll figure it out. Since your giving them things to eat other then chick food make sure they have grit.

I

I've never seen one like it but it is beautiful. It would be awsome if it feathered out that way.

I really think so too, I'm interested to see how it grows out!

I wouldn't ever take the chick away, the mom needs to personally teach it what to eat and how to dust bathe, besides all that work the mom did to hatch that little chick, I would think she should be able to keep it, why don't you try to hatch a couple eggs from a bator, it probably knows that that chicken is it's mother.

Chicks do much better with their momma. If you spend time with both of them, just sit on the ground and put feed close , they will come round. My momma lets me stroke her and the chicks see that and accept it as normal.
