Hi, I wasn't sure where to post this. But I am really curious about a particular chick in our flock
All hatched on Boxing day, so quite a few months ago.
While some are growing quite a bit, we have a little one named Mary who is noticeably smaller than the rest, she's been smaller than the rest for a VERY long time. Their chick feed is medicated to protect against cocci sickness/and cure it. They are all well fed too.
They are all mixes of oliver eggers and marans, so we aren't sure if there is a bantam gene present or not. I can get more photos if required
I should also mention that she also still sounds/acts like a chick while the rest are more adult sounding though they are all hatched on the same day (with the exception of the white one)
She is the little one in the middle/front with her sisters
In the front again, plain black one
She is a real sweetie and likes to follow everyone around.
