Stunted/dwarf/runt chick?

[WingItRanch]

Mini-Mini update with pics: she’s a couple days shy of 13 weeks here. She is the “Queen of the Food Bowl” without fail every day at breakfast she is the first one to the food, both feet in and no one questions it lol. She’s almost two weeks older than the other chicks in the pics

She looks less scruffy! Her feathers seem to be better. Good for you for keeping her healthy despite the odds with her dwarfism!

Quick little 16-week Mini-Mini update- she’s thriving, and really looking like a real chicken! She even has some copper streaks on her neck feathers. She’s the most precious thing, follows us around, knows her name, and isn’t scared of people. I can find her just about anywhere because she’s the only chicken on the property that still squeaks like a chick!

She really does look like a regular chicken now! So proud of this little one's journey, thank you for continuing to share it with us.

How's Mini-Mini doing?

She’s doing well! Fully feathered out with two adorable cheek tufts, and her voice is finally starting to change! I’m going to miss her little squeaks. She’s even getting some red color to her face, as she’s 17 weeks now

Did she get any bigger?

Did she get any bigger?

She’s about the size of a small bantam now, and thriving. She’s the absolute sweetest little bird. My family recently went on holiday and my MIL took care of the birds, she said Mini was just as sweet with her as she is with us. Loves being held and carried. Her sisters have started laying, so I’m hoping she will too, but no big deal if she doesn’t. She will have a place in the flock forever
