Very tiny coturnix chick

How is the little one doing???

He is doing great! Almost as big as the other ones. Not very amazing, because every time I look for him, I find him in the food, literally standing in the food, eating and eating.

Thanks for asking, I'm not online very often, because of this load of animals: 29 chicks, the quails, the dogs and now a stray cat in the barn, with six little ones I'm trying to find families for. I hardly find time to paint and draw, my profession being a painter.

I had 12 chicks hatch 10 days ago and one is still very tiny compared to the other guys.... I think it may be partially blind because it keeps its eyes closed most of the time. It eats and drinks but not as much as the other guys...

I cull any that are tiny. I want bigger birds, so if they can't keep up in size as chicks I don't waste feed on them. They make great food for pet snakes, dogs, whatever.
