Hey folks,
We got our MM order on April 7th. 32 Wyandottes, Delawares, EEs, Sussex, Orpies, Australorps and Barred Rocks.
All but two of this group have enough feathers that they have full wings and are starting to fly around.
Two, probably black 'lorps but maybe rocks (can't tell the chickies apart), have little stubby wings with just 1/2" of primary flight feathers coming in. We have three of each breed, and one of the three has full wings.
Do 'lorps or rocks develop more slowly than other breeds? Are these little ladies just failing to thrive? They seem to eat enough, poop normally, and run around like crazies even though they can't join in the flying fun.
Thanks!
