Skinny chick

[DBerryhill]

I have a chick that I have been trying to get to thrive. I believe she is an Australorp. I have never raised an Australorp and didn't know if they are normally small and slow growing? I have another one that is about two weeks younger, so not a good comparison. I never see her eat from the feeder. She just scratches around. She is pooping and drinking. She does not get picked on. No sneezing. She runs around. However she always seems to be breathing hard but can't tell if it's just from her being so skinny. I think she ha a prolapsed vent. Again....skinny? Any suggestions on helping this one to thrive? I was thinking maybe some hard boiled eggs?

I feed my chicks hard boiled egg's one in the morning and one in the evening for the protein niacin and vitamin B-3 and what a difference it makes ....

Even if you need to take her aside and let her eat first and if she wont eat it the first time she should start after a couple of times .....

I also use Turkey Grow to get them growing faster and nice feathering .....






Them eating some hard boiled egg's age 3 day's ..
