I have that. I will start tomorrow. Should I give some to the big birds since they came from them? What causes it? THANKS!

That name fits LOL

While you might be able to help the chick with vitamins, I personally would not use the chick for a breeding pen when it is older. IMHO

I was kinda thinking that too.... thanks. I will tag it if it makes it.

I believe it's from the chick being stuck in an abnormal position in the egg for too long. I've dealt with it more in ducklings(muscovies) than chicks but it was always the later hatchers it happened to. I had one duckling that's head was curled around like it was still in the "egg position", always looked like it was sitting on it's head when it was resting, lol. The drops started correcting it after a few days and it recovered fully.

Really pretty girls. Are they LF or bantam? How old are they?

Thank you . They are large fowl. Two are roughly 6-7 months old and the other (2nd picture) is I'm guessing 4-5 months. Kinda lost track of the exact age due to combining 3-4 different hatches. Sorry for the late reply was out of town for a while.

Can't wait to get a few hens this spring!

Well my stargazer chick died.... but it was probably for the best. There may have been something else wrong. It did seem to have a hard time breathing.
