Hi! I️ recently got 4 Cream Legbars from our local feed store. I️ believe they were all around a week old and they were all the same size. After about a week, 3 of them starting growing feathers and the other 1(Kevin) still looked the same as the week before. They all were growing at the same pace, then after a couple weeks, Kevin had a couple wing feathers and no tail feathers (the others were starting to get tail feathers).
They around 5 weeks right now, I’m pretty sure. Kevin eats and drinks a lot, but is pretty skinny. I️ try to keep vitamins in the water at all times. He dust bathes with the other chicks. He really enjoys the sun, he will lay on his side and stick his wing out like an Umbrella. There is no picking going on, in fact all the bigger chicks adore him and there is always one (always different ones) by his side cuddling with him. He lays down and sleeps all the time, way more than the other chicks. It’s almost like he is always laying down. He will jump and Flap around for a short amount of time when I️ let them outside to run around, then flop down in the sun. He seems to breathe heavily a lot, but maybe the other chicks do too. He also trembles when he is laying down, even in the sun in 83 degree weather. When he walks, he hobbles or kinda waddles like a Duck, very slowly.
I’m not sure what’s up, but hopefully y’all can help. Thanks in advance!
