Almost 20 days later and I have a big Bird.He flies now. He's ready to go outside but I need him to stay with his little sister (who has a minor case or crook neck (sigh)) a couple more weeks. The burn is mostly healed and we havent had anymore illness or issues. He may end up being a She but Prime is full of attitude still. He's like a real A-hole. Lol

Yea, he was actually smaller than birds his age. He still is. But im glad he's growing and hopefully will outgrow them all one day.

I'm betting Prime is a Prima! There is just something about the face that screams bossy pullet to me! But then I have a 5 month old pullet that just fooled me by sprouting saddle feathers so what do I know,

You have done a fantastic job with that baby. He/she is looking great.

They are far more resilient than we give them credit for being and a lot tougher. Thank you so much for letting us share in Prime's journey!

I had a hen, whom I thought was a rooster, she was beating me up everyday, more than my real roosters, and she was one day out from being processed when she laid an egg.

Aren't they a hoot!?

I have a Welsummer hen with spurs that lays regular but won't let a rooster mount her. She beats every one of them up if they try so they have learned to leave her alone. She's a riot to watch when she goes into action with them.

But the roosters must forget they can't.

Well look at that! Looks like she is a handful!

Glad that Prime/Prima is doing well.

My little Lex finally got up to 10.3 ounces yesterday, at 5 months old. We had a bit of a scare because she suddenly started pecking about an inch too high to eat her food on Monday, but after a few days inside with a little work she's back to normal. I think someone may have pecked her and rattled her wee little brain a bit, because nothing else changed at all and the others are fine. Plus she's finally molting, so maybe that messed her up somehow. She did earn the nickname Lexi HeiHei now, after Moana's poor bantam chicken that also couldn't eat properly.

When she got to back in the coop yesterday she immediately strutted in and reminded them that she's the boss. She's such a brat. I know that being a dwarf she's going to have more issues than a normal bird, but we're doing the best we can for her.
